Global warming is a big problem for Snowy Owls. It hurts the Snowy Owls in two different and dangerous ways: loss of habitat, and hurting the food chain. The first way, the loss of habitat is caused by loss of snow- due to global warming. The other way, hurting the food chain, is also caused by global warming but does not hurt the Snowy Owls directly. There are fewer plants this way, and the Snowy Owl's prey (lemmings, hares, etc.) have less food. We already said that Snowy Owl population is very abrupt so their population is getting lesser and lesser. Those are the things that endanger the Snowy Owl.

What is being done to help snowy owls from being endangered?
As with most owls, the mother stays and keeps the young warm, whilst keeping predators at bay. The father owl hunts continuously to keep his family fed, often lining the nest edge with prey that is at that time surplus to requirements. Once the young snowy owls are too demanding for the male snowy owl, and large enough to leave, the female snowy owl joins in the hunt and supply of fresh prey. Eventually, the young snowy owls are encouraged to chase their own prey, initially caught but not killed by the parent snowy owls.
What do the snowy owls nest look like?

Are lynx endangered?
yes. Because of people hunting them, poulution, gloabal warming, and loss of enviroment. The Spanish lynx, and the Iberian lynx are endangered, but the Canada lynx and the bobcat are not endangered. Hunting and habitat loss are the reasons for the two Old World lynx species being endangered. Global Warming and pollution have nothing to do with their current situation at all.

What animals are being effected by global warming?
Pandas
Are pandas being affected by global warming just like polar bears?
Pandas and polar bears are affected by global warming because their habitats are being destroyed. For the pandas, bamboo forests are being affected by changes in rainfall and temperature. For the polar bears, Arctic sea ice is melting, more and more each year, and this makes the bears' seal-hunting period shorter every year. Weak female bears cannot bear and successfully rear cubs.
Who is being affected by global warming?
Everyone is affected by global warming, in some way or another. Coastal areas around the world are threatened by flooding from rising sea levels, and severe storms which can combine with high tides to flood croplands, city suburbs and subways. Countries in Africa are experiencing droughts and famine. North America and Europe suffer from extreme heat waves and extreme winters. Thousands of people have died already just from the heat waves.
