They are so adorable, cuddly as well as utterly vulnerable. Polar bears grab the admiration as well as attention of people the globe over for their fluffy white furs as well as huggable size. They achieve appreciation from pet fans for their searching talent as well as survival tactics in one of the harshest atmospheres on Planet. But in spite of their confusing recognition these giants are actually in hazard of being wiped off Planet absolutely.
The Bear Basics
Polar bears are a huge animals that make their homes on the frozen Arctic sea. The bears are going to waste the majority of their lives on the ice. Males can grow up to ten feet in length and weigh in at over 1,300 pounds! The bears are carnivores, indicating they consist primarily on a diet made up of the meat of additional Arctic pets. At present there are actually estimated to be only 20 to 50 thousands Arctic polar bears left in the wild. They are on the Endangered Animal List.
Why They’re At Danger
The greatest risk to the survival of the polar bear animals is actually the noted warming of the Arctic marine which is leading to the melting of the ice these bears call house. Although the bears utilize the ice for breeding as well as resting as well, it’s vital element is to supply a cover for the bears as they hunt seals. Without adequate ice, the bears are able to not prolong far sufficient from land to hunt adequate food to survive. The bears are emerging as malnourished as well as many are perishing of starvation. This dynamic is actually effecting female bears with cubs in a fantastic number inducing reduced survival rates of the newer generations. Added hazards to polar bears provide enhanced run ins by having humans due to the forced time spent on land, as well as spills, improvement and shipping treatments reporting to oil in the Arctic.
Who Is Helping, and Exactly how
Principal contributors to the match to save the Arctic Polar Bear provide the Coca-Cola Provider and the Globe Wildlife Fund. Collectively these organizations are raising cash to research exactly what is causing global climate change as well as performing with governmental companies to control greenhouse gas discharges. More significant ventures consist of efforts to prevent unfavorable human interactions providing poaching as well as exceptional tourism and protecting vital habitat areas such as birthing dens.
One are able to get entailed in the search to save the Arctic Polar Bears by functioning instantly with the Globe Wildlife Fund. Begin your rewarding journey today by dropping by Polar Bears at World Wild Life.
a clever title for a polar bear paper? does anyone have a cute and clever title idea for a polar bear project i’m doing? all i can think of is “polar bears: on a path to extinction” but thats not cute or clever. maybe something to do with “paws” as “pause” or something idk help please!
‘Don’t be a Polar Bear Murderer’ ‘Save the Polar Bears from Extinction’ ‘Polar Bears: The Disappearing Species’
Why don’t you go with something scientific and not cartoony?
Well I know one fact of mother polar bears is that they can distribute their body weight evenly when walking on ice. However if the ice is too thin they can end up in some serious trouble, especially if they get caught underneath. On that note maybe your title could be something like “Polar Bears: walking on thin ice”
Polar Bears in Antarctica?!?!?! Is this a good Idea? http://www.polarbearconservancy.org/Site/Programs.html The Polar Bear Conservancy’s plan is to relocate 3,000 polar bears from the Northern Arctic, where global climate change is melting native habitat, to the stable ice sheets of Antarctica. The Polar Bear Conservancy will begin relocation of the first Arctic polar bears to Antarctica on Earth Day, April 22, 2008. The relocation will be the initial step in a planned five-year program to migrate 3,000 polar bears from the Northern Arctic to the southern continent of Antarctica. Scientists say polar bears face near-certain extinction by 2020 as global climate change accelerates melting of their habitat in the Northern Arctic. Antarctica, in contrast, can be a viable home for the bears. Though experiencing melting of its own, the southernmost continent still has sufficient ice coverage to support the polar bear indefinitely in its traditional climate, and it has abundant food stocks, including penguins, seals, dolphins, and migratory Hmm… apparently this was an April Fool’s joke.
I don?t think so. You?re likely to interrupt the balance of nature in that area. It?s been done many times before. Even if the scientists think they have everything worked out it?s impossible to tell with nature. Next thing you?ll know is the polar bears have some type of bacteria in the hair that?s fatal to penguins. That?s only a lame example but there are so many possibilities that can?t be known ahead of time when introducing a new animal to a new environment.
Don’t have any statistics for ya’, but keep in mind that the most dangerous predator on the face of this earth be MAN!! Definitely not tryin’ ta’ be a smart A _ _, but unfortunately homo sapien be the biggest threat for the demise of nature itself! Do not like that word (demise), but if we allow it to continue at the rate it’s goin, that will be the end result.
With fishing people catch the fish that are the lower end of thier class of fish. The fish that are “dumb” enough to go for the bait and the ones which are the least likely to survive. With the easy catches gone a polar bear has to work even harder to get the fish that is more fit to survive against predators making it that a polar burns more calories to catch the meal than that the meal is going to satisfy.
seals eat fish polar bears eat seals , no fish means no seals , no seals means no polar bears
I think the fact that the polar icecap is shrinking is possibly a bigger threat to the bears.
I’m sure the perch, bass, bluegill, catfish, and trout I catch in Massachusetts aren’t affecting the Polar Bear populations in the Arctic
honestly think about it!!!!
They actually eat more when they go into the villages, I read something the other day that said most who have grown up near people are loosing their ability to hunt.
Because people like to stick there head in the sand. It makes thing easy. It means they do not have to address the problem. Just brush it under the carpet & the problem will go away, which the human race is good at doing Wrenched:- I looked at the link in English & the web site clearly contradicts what you have written about ice growth. They use the words shrinking ice & oceans ice free as early as 2020 with a sea level rise of a meter. Have I missed something. Please explain.
Gym: Nobody shoots the homeless for seeking greener pastures….pretty obvious if the ice melts they will spend more time on land…and humans regard that as being theirs…
Could we move polar bears to Antarctica to prevent their extinction?
lol, I don’t think so…. 1) different prey and predators. 2) How are we to do that? That would take a whole lot of airplanes, ships, and other stuff….. 3) Antarctica would become victim to global warming, pollution and other evil things humans have done eventually….
Then you’d wipe out the penguin and the north would be over-ran with Arctic foxes and hairs.
Don’t screw with Nature.Look what happened in Australia when they did!
What are some ways we can stop global warming? I like polar bears a lot, sadly they are near extinction due to the ice melting faster every year due to global warming, same with many other Artic animals. How can we stop global warming? I have watched many shows about it, including Planet Earth, some animals could seriously die because of it, please tell me how we can stop it or at least slow it down.
don’t worry, just turn your tv off, get your cable disconnected, and spend some more time with your man/lady in bed. burn some calories!
What the world is doing is only a micro-environmental clean-up to slow down warming. But in eradicating global warming on a macro level is to rehabilitate the desertification worldwide. This is the objective of O2 regeneration by way of photosynthesis, far better & far mightier than carbon emission reduction. In doing so, O2 will then cool climate by reducing atmospheric temperature & pressure. It will repair our O3 layers and will normalize weather & climate. It will then calm earth from natural disasters such earthquakes, landslides, heat wave, forest fires, epidemic, and many others. Since your concern is the animals in the Arctic & Antarctic, the repair of glaciers in ice shelf will only be done if the weather & climate is normalized with O2 replenishment in the atmosphere. If done, water vapor will freely travel to these 2 places with the help of the wind to reform & rebuild the glaciers back.
stop burning coal, oil, and natural gas. that’s the only way. kind’a like weight. want to lose some? don’t eat as much. there’s nothing magic about it. Edit: There’s lots of other stuff, (drive a smaller car, or take the bus, take shorter showers (or none ewe) turn off lights when not needed, etc) that will help slow global warming down some. But to stop it, you have to stop putting CO2 into the atmosphere. Really.
The only thing that is endangered right now is any animal that gets to close to a polar bear.
turn your air conditioner facing out the window so the cold air goes outside. lol
