Can you imagine being a polar bear stuck in the middle of the ocean on a piece of ice‚ having nowhere to go and knowing that you have no way out? Luckily‚ there is hope for these polar bears and many more species all over the world that can prevent this situation from even occurring. That is the World Wildlife Fund. WWF helps all species of animals and their environments by putting up numerous safe havens that are controlled and supported with every dollar that is donated. All they need is a few

Global Warming is causing the decrease of polar bear populations due to the loss of habitat‚ scarcity of food‚ and higher mortality rates in pups. There are nineteen subpopulations of polar bears in the world. They are called "subpopulations" because they are not genetically distinct to one area but generally inhabit nineteen different areas across the circumpolar arctic. A study showed that between 2001 and 2010 there was a 40% population decrease of these bears and according to a U.S Geological Survey

The Polar Bear’s fur is extremely thick and it traps the heat so well‚ you can’t see one in inferred vision. This is good because the retention of heat keeps it permanently warm. It does not lose body heat as other animals and people do‚ and it would not be recognised by an inferred scanner‚ such as used when searching earthquakes and other devastated sites for survivors. The Polar bear would not be detected so this shows how well the bears fur keeps its body warm‚ especially in icy cold freezing

How Camels and Polar Bears Adapt Camels First‚ camels can store up to 50 gallons of water in one of their stomachs‚ which allows them to last up to five days in the desert without drinking any water. Their two-toed feet are designed to spread their weight‚ so that they do not sink into the sand. Their nostrils are narrow slits‚ and they have long eyelashes‚ which keep the wind from blowing sand into their nose or eyes. They can also store fat in their hump‚ which gives them energy when food is

An Unintentional Consequence – How the Polar Bear is affected by Global Warming Imagine for a moment that you just woke up from a long nap to find everything around you was not the same as it was when you went to sleep: the temperature that you are use to experiencing is considerably warmer‚ you get a notice that you have to travel further to find your favorite cuisine‚ and the city has changed so much that you have a hard time maneuvering from place to place. In addition to being frustrated

Polar bears have lived in the arctic for many years. Their bodies have adapted and developed in order for their survival in the polar region. Polar bears are able to live in the deep freeze for many reasons. They have thick fur that keeps in their body heat. They have small ears

Polar bears 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

majestic creatures — the polar bear. From its brown bear ancestry‚ the predator evolved to be a 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
