Audun estimated the polar bear would come back in one to two weeks to mate with the grieving mother. SVALBARD: A PHOTOGRAPHER has captured a one-thousand-pound polar bear carrying a six-month-old cub?s severed head in its mouth. Shocking pictures revealed a nine-foot-long adult male polar bear as it walked around carrying a beheaded baby like a trophy, dripping in blood. Another heart-breaking photo showed the baby polar bear's distressed mum as she tried to look for her missing child. The hard-to-watch scenes were snapped by expedition leader and CEO, Audun Lie Dahl (34) from Smøla, Norway. He used a full frame DSLR with a 400mm lens to photograph the gruesome images in Svalbard, Norway, where just 2,500 people live. @audundahl
