What animals are at risk of dying in the north pole?

There are always risks of animals dying in the North Pole. If you meant what animals that are not suited to life at the North Pole are at risk of dying when placed in the North Pole, then most likely all of the animals that do not live at the North Pole are at risk of dying. This is because they are unable to adapt to the extreme cold environment, and it would take many generations for these animals to evolve to adapt. If you meant what animals are at risk of endangerment or extinction in the North Pole, then the answer would be that animals such as the polar bears, penguins and majority of the other animals are at risk. This is due to global warming. With the rising temperatures, the ice packs at the North Pole are rapidly melting. The polar bears, who swim to find food, are finding it harder to swim to land (ice packs) because of the shrinking of the ice packs. The polar bears will eventually become exhausted after all the swimming and drown. All these contribute to the rapid decrease of the Arctic animals.


Is there more life at the north or south pole?

The South Pole is located on the continent of Antarctica, and is a long way away from the coastal regions where most animal life would exist. There is no food for animals at the South Pole. The North Pole is located on a floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean. Animals such as Polar Bears might be able to break through thin ice around the North Pole to get at fish. Potentially, there would be more life at the North pole.

Why are animals getting extinct in the north and pole?

Animals are being extinct at the north pole because of polar bears warm fur, whales tough skin and oil, walrus and sharks eating penguins, and fishes being eaten.
