Global warming has had some impact on the animals of the Arctic and Antarctic (there are actually no animals at either Pole). Being an ice shelf, rather than a land mass, the North Pole is more prone to melting, decreasing in size over at least the last five decades.
Currently, global warming affects animals because the melting of freshwater ice affects the marine creatures. These creatures also cannot withstand the warmer sea temperatures.
Habitat loss is a major issue. In the Antarctic, there has been a 33% decrease in some penguin populations due to habitat loss.

∙ 6y agoYes, because if arctic animals live in the cold, then if all the ice melts the animals will have nowhere to go. There won't be a place for them to live because of global warming. Arctic animals need to be in cold places.

According to the website, Defenders of Wildlife, caribou (reindeer) and arctic foxes are also being affected by the climate change which is altering their habitats for the worse.

Which animals does global warming affect the most and how?
global warming mostly affect the polar bears which live in the Arctic which is cold, and is getting warmer by time due to global warming. So polar bears a turning into an endangered species and people are designing them on Coke cans to help them. :)
