__Big Bob VS The Tundra__
One cold day in north Nunavut, Big Bob the grizzly bear had to get something to eat. He thought of getting some fish in the water. So he used his paw to break the ice and waited for a fish to come. For some reason, a cod was floating on the water. Big Bob quickly grabbed it with no difficulty, and ate it. One bite into the cod and he knew it was dead. That cod was infected by the Burkholderia bacteria from the ice. He threw the fish down and waited again for more fishes. It seemed like there wouldn't be anymore fishes coming through, so Big Bob went to find other food. Walking about a couple minutes later, Big Bob saw a bush of bearberries. He immediately picked some and ate them. Even though Big Bob ate the whole bush-full of berries, he was still hungry. Turning to his right, he sees a green thing. He thought they were mosses so he ate them, but they weren't mosses. The green organism was a lichen, and not a very tasty one. Big Bob was so disgusted he threw up the whole fungus. Big Bob was now more hungry than ever. If he doesnt find food soon he might die. "Please,help me I am going to die," an arctic fox said to Big Bob. Big Bob rushed to the fox, but it was too late, the fox fell to the ground and died. As Big Bob left the fox to die, Big Bob felt a little sick himself. It wasn't a starvation sickness, but rather a really bad cold. He had a ciliate in his body, and he got that from the fox. Big Bob didnt feel big anymore, he was beginning to fall to the ground and was going to do what the fox had just done. Soon later, Big Bob The Grizzly Bear, DIED.
