Seal Carcass Left by Polar Bears

A rather gruesome relic on the beach having been well picked clean by bears and birds. There seems to be no attempt to crack open the bones to get at the marrow inside which you get with other large predators, maybe seal bones are too tough with not enough reward for the effort.
