In our dynamic world‚ there are several animals and plants currently at risk for extinction. The animal that I am interested in learning more about is the Ursus maritimus‚ commonly known in North America as a Polar Bear. Ursus maritimus is the Polar Bear’s scientific name which means sea bear; it received this name because it is heavily involved in the water and is the only bear considered to be a marine mammal. There is one documented Polar Bear that undertook a 426-mile swim that took nine days

Ice sheets melting is meaning there is a loss of habitats for the arctic animals such as the polar bears and walrus who live on the ice‚ gradually this will make the polar bears become extinct as

First I will explain how they got their food and what type of food they had to eat because of where they are living.

Plus‚ the cryosphere is central to the daily lives of the people‚ plants and animals that have made it their home (All about the cryosphere). The Cryosphere‚ it means the places where water in the form of solid‚ where low temperatures and people most think it as being at the top and bottom of our planet‚ in the polar regions.

our looking for food but they can’t find it anymore. So they go into villages for more food which ends up having more bear attacks and deaths. 90% percent of the world’s food go to Alaska. The food source has always been fine for the polar bears. Arctic is getting warmer. The essay is mostly about Polar bears and why the polar bears are going into villages to get more food. There were always enough food for the polar bears but now bears are going into villages for more food because they can’t

Introduction: “Buy Local‚ shrink the distance food travels‚ save the planet.” Locavore is a diet a person takes up to eat only local food. It consists of a group of people that insist to help the economy and reduce the size of carbon footprint by eating local food within a 100 mile radius. Alex Hallat the creator of “Artic Circle” comic strip portrays the idea of locavore to inform and entertain people. The purpose of the comic strip is to communicate as quickly as possible an idea and an attitude

The Arctic and areas that are in higher latitudes have a higher rate of warming and this pattern is expected to continue as climates everywhere changes and temperatures go up. As Earth warms up‚ the glaciers in the Arctic start to melt‚ and species such as the polar bear and the arctic fox that depend on the sea ice‚ will start to disappear

the Global Warming on the polar bears is their habitat. Habitat is the place providing animals with food‚ sleeping area and every essential material to live. In the Arctic‚ the polar bears’ habitat becomes worse recently due to the shortage of sea ice and food. The first change in habitat is increasing the temperature of the Arctic. With the Global Warming‚ Polar Bears 3 temperature increasing‚ the sea ice over here melts quickly. Finally‚ this should transfer to the polar bears and lead they

master of a harsh and unwelcoming ice kingdom. Intelligent‚ adaptable and fierce‚ the polar bear learned how to survive in a place that offers few comforts to any creature. But now that very environment is in flux. And so is the polar bear’s fate. The Arctic is changing. As temperatures slowly rise and the ice recedes‚ the shore is getting further away. Food sources that the polar bear have come to rely on are becoming less plentiful. In this changing climate‚ the polar bear is already showing signs of
