Polar bears live mostly on the ice at the North Pole. Their existence is threatened because their habitat, Arctic sea ice, is shrinking because of global warming.

Another View

Actually, the Arctic ice pack has grown by 60% this year, and polar bears are not considered endangered, but rather listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN, with a total population of nearly 25000 animals, up from a low of around 7600 in the 1970's.
