Yes, if we don't stop global warming. Polar bears' habitat is the Arctic ice, which they depend on the ice for their diet of seals, which they can only catch by breaking through the ice into the seal dens.
Arctic ice is melting more and more every year. Winter ice is re-freezing later each year. So their habitat is disappearing slowly. Polar bears have to spend more time on land each summer where they have to compete in an unfamiliar habitat with other species of bears for food.
What else can I help you with?
How do polar bears cause global warming?
Polar bears do not cause global warming. In fact, polar bears are affected by global warming due to the shrinking of their sea ice habitat. The loss of sea ice reduces their hunting grounds and threatens their survival.
Are polar bears extinct?
Not yet. Their existence is threatened because their habitat, Arctic sea ice, is decreasing because of Global warming.
Why are polar bears a cause of global warming?
Polar bears are not a cause of global warming. They are being affected by climate change in that their habitat is decreasing in size (as the sea ice is melting).
Does global warming affect the survival rate of polar bears?
Global Warming does affect the survival rate of Polar Bears because Global Warming Melts the ice.
Are humans destroying the habitat of polar bears?
Yes. Mostly it's by global warming.
On what do polar bears depend?
Right now, polar bears depend on humans. The habitat of the polar bear is decreasing. Because of global warming, the ice is melting. Polar bears are dying off because they have to swim long distances to get to ice.
Is global warming warming the greatest danger to brown bears?
No, not at all. There is no evidence that the global warming is affecting brown bears.
Why are global warming specialists watching the Arctic so closely?
If it melts, polar bears won't have natural habitat.
What is the main cause of death for polar bears?
because of global warming Global warming is a scientific theory. Some Polar Bears are in decline due to climate change effects, the melting of icebergs which depletes their habitat, while others are not showing any indications of change.
Are polar bears dying in the ocean?
Their habitat, the Arctic sea ice, is shrinking annually because of global warming. Bears need their habitat for cub dens, as well as seal trapping. The winter ice melting earlier every year means that bears are weaker and having fewer cubs.
What is a polar habitat?
Polar bears live in the arctic tundra. This means there not many trees or grass; mostly ice and snow. Global warming is destroying this habitat.
Why are the polar bears on the threatened species list due to global warming?
Since it is getting hotter much of the ice is melting away which results in the loss of habitat. Global warming is also affecting other species that the polar bears eat and need to survive.
