Hunting of polar bears using snowmobiles, icebreakers and aircraft meant that the population was around 10,000 in the 1960s and 1970s. After hunting was restricted in 1973 the numbers of polar bears rose to somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000.
There were an estimate of Perhaps 20,000 polar bears in 1980. The number is estimated to be like 20,000 - 25,000 now but some claim as high as 50,000. The arctic areas are rather remote so estimates can be off. It is clear that polar bears are increasing in some areas this leads many ant-global warming people to say the bears aren't in danger. This isn't really true as the reason the bears have increased, in some areas only, is because of conservation efforts. However, if the ice loss projections prove true and so far they have, it is feared 2/3 of the bears will be gone by 2050!
about 40,000
40000
you love the cold so much, you could be a polar bear
A lion is smaller than a polar bear and the polar bear has a height and weight advantage, so a polar bear is stronger.
polar bear
There is no such animal as a polar bear lion.
It's the Inuit word for "polar bear".
if would the polar bear population be affected if crustacean population increases will be die or will be worm it in to body be affected to the population of the polar bear
22,000
Official P BSG polar bear population estimates about 21,000 polar bears were alive in 2004. Unofficial estimates, however, have a number closer to 24,000.

Yes, there is one if you type in 'bear population chart' in google images. Hope this helps!
In 1999, the polar bear population was between 18000 and 20000. Today, the population is estimated to be around 22000-25000. Polar bear numbers are difficult to figure, because of their nomadic nature.
The polar bear's main threat is hunting in some nations..The bear is holding its own, and the population is fairly stable.
In that time period, with uncontrolled hunting, the numbers were less than 10,000.
With a population approaching 25000 worldwide, the polar bear is considered threatened, not endangered.
Currently between 20-25000.
there is only 25000 left
Some local populations are on the decline, and some are increasing slightly. The overall population is currently fairly stable at 20-25000.
