What struggles do polar bears have?

The struggle that polar bears face is starvation due to global warming. They can only hunt when there is sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean during the winter. As the warm part of the year gets longer and the cold part gets shorter, polar bears have less time to hunt for food and more time to wait without it. Therefor, as the climate gets warmer, the more polar bears starve.


How are polar bears good hunters?

The polar bears' only "predator" is the human who has hunted it for sport. They had no natural protection from humans who used to hunt them from airplanes and icebreakers. Polar bears are at the top of their food chain in the region so no other animals hunt them, occasionally another polar bear will attack but usually not for food. Now, thankfully, there is an agreement signed by the five countries where polar bears live to protect them from over hunting and habitat destruction by humans. This agreement was signed in 1973 by the US, Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia.


What do polar bears do to adapt in the winter?

Polar bears have blubber, which is like extra fat, under their fur and that helps to keep them warm during the winter. They also grow out their winter fur coats to keep themselves warm during the winter.


Why are animals going endanger?

Global warming is a factor when it comes to polar bears going endangered. The warmer climate that is caused by more energy, oil, coals to heat our cities the warmer the climate therefore as heat rises the earth core gets hotter and therefore the ice melts leaving the polar bears with less ice and more water, and although polar bears are excellent swimmers they have to swim over 50 miles to find seals which by that time seals can escape faster and polar bears are exhausted from there journey. This is why you see so many polar bears floating in the waters; mostly their cubs (die from exhaustion and lack of food). Seals (main food source) for polar bears were easier to catch when the seal had to come up for air (through the ice) the polar bear would wait and catch it, now they have to swim far away to find seals because there is less and less of ice.


Will polar bears live?

Probably no. Polar bears live on the North Pole not the South. Most polar bears live in Alaska, Canada, and the North Pole. The North Pole is ice. Under it is water. When polar bears hunt they wait at a air hole for a seal. Now that the the Earth is warming seals don't have to make an air hole because in some places there is no ice. So there are less air holes and seals just get air anywhere without ice above them making it much harder for the ice bears to catch seals.

It tells you if you do or do not have enough penguins and polar bears. Have fun and Good luck!

Are polar bears going to extinct this year?

If global warming continues, and there are no signs yet of it even even slowing, then there is a strong possibility that polar bears will become extinct. If their habitat, the sea ice, disappears, they will be forced onto land to compete with other bears for food. They may begin mating with land bears and the polar bear may disappear.Polar bears are not close to extinction now, there are still probably several thousands of them left, though it's difficult to count their numbers with any accuracy.However, polar bears are in danger, because their habitat, the Arctic sea ice, is shrinking because of global warming. Bears feed mostly on seals which they catch on the sea ice, and rely on vast amounts of seal fat eaten from late April till mid-July to last them through the food-free summers.Because of global warming, the sea ice re-forms later each year, so polar bears have to wait longer before they can start to hunt again.Weakened female bears have fewer cubs, and this is the problem.
