little about the Polar bear‚ because I hear more about the Polar Bears being affected by global warming more than any other ocean animals. Polar Bears are affected by the reduction of sea ice‚ because this is where they go to rest and hunt for their food. Polar Bears are known to be entirely dependent on the sea ice for their survival. I also read in a 2007 report from the US Geological Service‚ they say that as the sea ice continues to decline‚ the population of our Polar Bears could decrease

in the past decades as sea temperatures rise‚ causing reefs to “’collapse catastrophically’” (Markey). Colder regions‚ too‚ are feeling the heat. In the Arctic‚ shrinking sea ice is disappearing at a rate of 11% per decade‚ which has depleted polar bear habitats and shortened their winter hunting season‚ resulting in malnutrition and population decline(Dvorak). Meanwhile‚ on the opposite pole‚ the Antarctic Peninsula’s temperatures are rising even faster‚ spurring heavier snowfall and a dramatic

I believe that the rapid change in temperatures caused by the increase of C02 Admisions is rapidly raising the temperatures of the polar bears habitat. Some argue that‚ we have only tracked a 1 degree temperature change throughout the earth‚ that is a mere change that would not send the ice melting so fast‚ but with some further reaserach i found that a 1 degree temperature change‚ is

The scene in the movie where Algore showed a short clip of a polar bear swimming in a vast ocean where the North Pole‚ supposedly have already melted‚ was truly got to me. This bear was swimming almost desperately and when it came to this thin floating piece of ice it tried to climb on but the

Our selfish acts are contributing to the loss of the Artic ice‚ which is vital for the Polar bears survival. The Polar bear population is quickly declining and we must take action‚ and make a change to our way of life to make it easier for the Polar bear. The main reason why the Polar Bear population is quickly declining is because of climate change

Polar bears under the threat of extinction Today I would like to speak about the polar bears that are gong under the treat of extinction. Polar bears known as the stalkers of the High Artic and also known scientifically as Ursus Matrimus are they worlds largest land carnivores. They rely on sea ice to survive which is why we find them in ice covered areas. From an evolutionary standpoint polar bears are quite new. The first animals that man recognizes as bears started from the size of a dog

rctic Human footprint on the Arctic Fox Michael Mays Biology 102 April 28‚ 2011 I wanted to do my research on an animal that was not all that common. We hear all the time about if we don’t stop doing this or this then there won’t be any more Polar Bears‚ etc. But there are so many other species out there that we never hear about that really might have a bigger impact on humans if they become extinct. So that is why I choose to do my project over Arctic Foxes. Slide MM #2 The Arctic Fox (Alopex
