Polar bears capture the admiration and attention of individuals the world over for their fluffy bright coats and huggable size. They garner honor from pet enthusiasts for their hunting ability and survival techniques in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Yet in spite of their frustrating attraction these giants are in threat of being wiped off Planet totally.
The Bear Basics
Polar bears are actually a substantial animals that make their homes on the frozen Arctic ocean. The bears will definitely spend the majority of their lives on the ice. Males can easily increase up to ten feet in duration as well as weigh in at over 600 kg! The bears are actually carnivores, implying they consist largely on a diet made up of the meat of other Arctic animals. At current there are estimated to be actually just 20-50,000 polar bears left in the wild. They are on the Endangered Species Listing.
Why They’re At Risk
The best prospect to the survival of the polar bear varieties is actually the noted warming of the Arctic ocean which is leading to the melting of the ice these bears call residence. Although the bears utilize the ice for breeding and relaxing as well, it’s vital element is to offer a cover for the bears as they hunt seals. Without sufficient ice, the bears can not expand a long way enough from land to hunt sufficient food to survive. The bears are becoming malnourished as well as countless are dying of starvation. This dynamic is effecting female bears with cubs in a excellent quantity causing lesser survival rates of the newer generations. Increased dangers to polar bears provide enhanced race ins with individuals due to the forced time spent on land, and spills, development and shipping procedures relating to oil in the Arctic.
That Is Helping, as well as Just how
Principal contributors to the match to conserve the Arctic Polar Bear provide the Coca-Cola Company as well as the World Fauna Fund. All together these businesses are actually raising hard earned cash to groundwork what is inducing international climate change as well as functioning by having governmental agencies to manipulate greenhouse gasoline discharges. Additional principal jobs consist of energies to avoid unfavorable human interactions providing poaching and remarkable tourism and protecting vital environment locations such as birthing dens.

Will you speak out for Polar Bears? In a disappointing move, the Obama administration has left polar bears poorly protected from one of the gravest threats to the species ? global warming. Rising temperatures are robbing polar bears of vital habitat and melting the sea ice they use for hunting and raising their cubs. Tell Interior Secretary Salazar how disappointed you are in his decision to leave polar bears without protection from global warming! Unfortunately, the Obama administration’s Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has failed to give polar bears the full protection they deserve. Following in the footsteps of the previous administration, Secretary Salazar chose to leave a Bush-era rule in place that limits this ice hunter’s protection from global warming and oil and gas development under the Endangered Species Act. Don’t let Secretary Salazar condemn the polar bear to extinction. Urge him to review the science and establish vital protection for polar bears under the Endangered Species Act! These precious animals need our help!!! Polar Bear numbers are DECREASING as a direct result of global warming, a very REAL problem.
But they make such nice rugs.
2 things 1. Why does everyone care about the freaking polar bears? They are freaking monsters and they kill tons of other creatures every year. 2. They aren’t dying out. Their population is doing just fine.
http://www.bearplanet.org/global-warming-polar-bears.shtml ———————————————————— * U.S. Geological Survey Office: 2/3rds of the entire word?s Polar Bear population will disappear by 2050! * Prof. Andrew Derocher of the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group: “Polar bears are in danger from global warming. They are declining due to global warming” * Global warming effect from Canada’s Huston Bay: Polar bears population in 1987 was 1.197. Polar bears population in 2004 was 935! In the past 15 years drop of %22! * MMS (Minerals Management Service) researchers: 1979 – 1991 the polar bears found mostly on sea ice. 1992 – 2004 the polar bears found mostly in the ocean or on beaches what is strange because they spent most of their time usually hunting on sea ice * Eight-nation report: The Arctic is heating twice as fast as the rest of the world. Conclusion is that the Polar bears could be wipe out by 2100! ————————————————————————
do you support the extinction of polar bears?
It’s not like humanity can’t survive without them. Not to be negative, but there are millions of species on this planet. Species go extinct everyday. What’s one more?
No, but I know better than to go and try to pet one. Did you hear? The polar ice cap didn’t melt after all.
Yes. Brown bears are much more attractive….. Just kidding. I thought you’d like an answer that had racial overtones, Bob. You are something else.
Yes. Why should we try to play God, and delay the inevitable? 90% of the creatures that have lived on earth are now extinct.
a clever title for a polar bear paper? does anyone have a cute and clever title idea for a polar bear project i’m doing? all i can think of is “polar bears: on a path to extinction” but thats not cute or clever. maybe something to do with “paws” as “pause” or something idk help please!
‘Don’t be a Polar Bear Murderer’ ‘Save the Polar Bears from Extinction’ ‘Polar Bears: The Disappearing Species’
Why don’t you go with something scientific and not cartoony?
Well I know one fact of mother polar bears is that they can distribute their body weight evenly when walking on ice. However if the ice is too thin they can end up in some serious trouble, especially if they get caught underneath. On that note maybe your title could be something like “Polar Bears: walking on thin ice”
That would be hard. You would have to get everybody to stop using gas, cars, manufacturing etc. And if you didn’t want to do that you’d have to fix the ozone. (which isn’t possible…yet.) Still you could send a message out there. P.S. POLAR BEARS are kool
Keep them off the floating ‘bergs.
help them by stoping global warming!
Help Stop Global Warming by doing your part: Change to energy saving light bulbs Get more home insulation Turn Lights off when you leave the room SAVE THE POLAR BEARS!! their cute
There population is up 300 %. It is the most vicious Animal there is. Right now the ice is not melting.LEAVE ALONE.
by them having been saved from extinction
idk, kill people who harm them??noo idea.
What are some causes of polar bear extinction?
Polar bears aren’t extinct. They may become extinct, but until then you can’t really ask that question. Maybe you could re-phrase it?
Polar Bears are not extinct. They are listed as endangered. Scientists predict that if current warming trends continue wild Polars Bears may become extinct. They are considered one of the first animals to be majorly affected by global warming. The world has gone thru warming and cooling trends for thousands and thousands of years.
Polar bears are not facing extinction despite the numerous films and comments. Their ice shelves are changing so they are having to swim or travel elsewhere for sustenance. The claimed reasons are global warming reducing fish supply and hence reducing the food for bears ie seals/ walrus. global warming making less ice and making it more difficult to trap the seals. Expansion of human settlements and the bears dependence on human detritus at the expense of seals leading to them being shot by man in fear of his own safety.
why Vanishing Sea Ice? Polar bears could face extinction, whales go hungry, and seals have nowhere to rest?all because of the warming Arctic.
I have three penii.
I really doubt any of those doom and gloom scenarios come to pass. What has happened is a part of the natural cycle of things, and in fact Arctic sea temperatures are cooling back to levels that were observed before the 1990′s, according to a report from NOAA.
sea lice are a key ingredient in eskimo aphrodisiacs, and also a method of genital stimulation when applied to the pubic region. i have to have them specially imported because of the tragedy that is their gradual but clear extinction. i have thirteen cats and i can tell you now that the difference between regular fleas and genuine arctic sea lice is astronomical.
