Research Paper On Polar Bears

Spirit bears people call them spirit bears although there real name is Kermode bear the Kermode bears lives Outside of Columbia only however one in a million black bears is white the rest are black only maybe 100 exist spirit bears are really interesting . Only about 20 percent of the bears on Orr and Princess islands are white the rest are black they have white creamy fur with brown eyes dark nose pads and nearly white claws .

There are about 100 different species of animals there, all of which are affected by climate change, but polar bears the worst. Polar bears are the most sensitive to the rapid change in climate because most of their life is spent on sea ice. With the temperatures rising in the Beringia Upland Tundra, the sea ice they thrive on is melting at a very high rate (Powell). Without this ice, the polar bears will not be able to easily move around to mate with other polar bears. They will also not be able to successful hunts on seals because the seals will see them swimming and swim away before anything bad can happen to them. If there was not a shortage of ice, the seals would not see the polar bears on the ice and they would swim closer to the surface. Another challenge the polar bears will face is that they will be eventually forced to go on to the seashore. This would be catastrophic because there would be and increase of competition for food. This could start massive stampedes that could kill polar bear cubs due to adult polar bears trampling them. As of now, there are only 26,000 wild polar bears alive. By 2050, it is predicted that two thirds of all wild polar bears will be gone. By 2100, it is predicted that polar bears will become extinct if nothing is done about global warming and climate change (Kliskey). Another animal in the Beringia Upland Tundra that is affected by climate change in

The around of world exist many zoo´s also animals shelter aiming to help to animals exotics and dangerous of extinction. In this reading the history the bear polar saddest is really shocking because the zoos find help animal no more cause suffering in they, so the zoos organizes must have the ability to release the animals are very important for human and actuality exist many organization created for improve life quality of they.

Glacier retreat will greatly affect polar and aquatic ecosystems and animals. Most arctic life revolves around the sea and presence of sea ice. Without the presence of ice, most ecosystems will be recreated. Polar bears are one species in great danger. Polar bears use sea ice as a birthing and hunting ground, and also use it to travel from one place to another. As glaciers start to disappear, the mother polar bear has less access to food; therefore, the chance of survival for her and her young is very slim. The polar bears chance of reproduction becomes less as the glaciers retreat. As the top of the food chain, their decline will cause negative effects for each level below them (Review Diagram G). The only way for polar bears to survive, is by

The polar bear, the largest land carnivore in North America, one of the largest animals in the world and a favorite at zoos worldwide, has, over the years, adapted to its harsh Arctic environment. The appropriately named ‘ursus maritimum’ or sea bear usually lives between 15 and 18 years in the wild and spends most of its life on ice. It is the most recent of the eight bear species. The first polar bear was a brown bear subspecies, with brown bear dimensions and brown bear teeth. The polar bear evolution was rapid due to the small population and extreme pressure to survive. Even today, the polar bear continues to evolve to better adapt to the harsh realities of Arctic life.

White bears require a variety of physical characteristics to survive in the harsh environment of the Arctic. Large, wide paws with bumps allow them to distribute weight and grip more efficiently. Water resistant fur with a luminescent quality keep the bear warm and dry. Additionally, Sharp and powerful teeth have the ability to penetrate hard flesh. These special features allow not only the ability to thrive in a difficult environment, but also are important for communicating with other species and another bear.

The only predator that a polar bear has is man, before guns polar bears didn’t fear people. In the 1970s polar bears became endangered a law was put up to protect them. To protect them Russia, Canada, Denmark, and Norway are working on ways to stop hunters and to come up with ways to slow down global warming since the glaciers are melting at a rapid pace. Researchers believe there are about 25,000 to 30,000 left in the wild.

With the ever rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, and constant warnings about global warming, it is no wonder that the animals inhabiting the artic regions around the world are now suffering a decline in their habitat as well as their livelihood. Such is the case with the Polar Bears who may soon be gone in a scant few years.

Ice bear was born in the Arctic. It is a very cold place. He did not have any parents and it made him sad. His parents have died because they got shot by a hunter He found some friends who have a mom and dad. They fed him fish and made him relax. He needed somewhere to live in the snow because he wouldn’t survive in the snow by himself. He built his own igloo. He grows up and he is happy.

Black bears are one of the more common species in North America. They live in many different habitats are not picky about what they eat. Their keen sense of smell gives them much information about their environment and foods they eat.

Ask any child about constellations and they will know about the star formation known as “The Big Dipper”. The stars that form this asterism (Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid) are the brightest part of the constellation they make whole, Ursa Major: The Great Bear. Although the constellation is certainly common enough to recognize, I hold a more personal attachment to it. I grew up nearby a convent which owned a crest marked with Ursa Major. The convent was a central root of the area, so the people often had the crest and familiar Ursa Major constellation everywhere. When I look into the night sky and see these familiar stars, they remind me of the people in the area who became close family and friends. Like the bear it symbolized, this constellation will always be like a mother bear protecting my sweet memories as if they were cubs.

The polar bear lives up in the Arctic region where global warming and climate change are melting the ice caps that the bears thrive on. They use the ice as a platform from hunting and rest. The random pocket holes in the ice, where the seals pop up at, is where the polar bear catches its prey. With this reduction of ice, “the abundance of seals, and increases the amount of energy and time needed for hunting, leaving less energy for reproduction” (Endangered Species and Habitats).

Polar bears are one of the countless species who are endangered. They were one of the first animals affected by global warming and their population is heavily decreasing. Around 1980, the Arctic was as large as 8 million square kilometres. In 2011, studies show that the Arctic has reduced its size to 4.5 million square kilometers. In the future, will there be anything such as the Arctic? Scientist predict by 2040, only a fringe of ice will remain in Northeast Canada and Northern Greenland. This is known as the Last Ice Area. This matter is mostly taking part in Canada, since; Canada holds more than half the world’s polar bear population. Other affected countries include the U.S. (Alaska), Greenland,

I want to do something important with my life and make my time on Earth worthwhile. I want to change the world for the better, even if the only world I change is that of a bear cub. I want to rescue and rehabilitate and aid in any way I can to wild animals. My affinity for animals began at a young age. I was too young to remember the German Shepherd mix my family owned when I was born, so my first love was the Basset Hound we adopted when I was in elementary school. She was a mess and I adored laying next to her on the floor as I read or watched tv or did homework. I used to come home from school and turn on Animal Planet every single day. My favorite shows were the Crocodile Hunter and Animal Cops. I enjoyed learning about new animals and

Polar bears in the artic have been a topic of conversation and an area of concern amongst the media, the government and the Inuit people. The effects of climate change are being witnessed within the artic bodies of water. Ice in the artic is beginning to melt which is resulting in a loss of sea ice habitat. As a result polar bears have been listed as a ‘Species of Special Concern’. Though polar bears have been placed on this list by the government, the Inuit who have social, cultural and economic significance to this species do not believe in supporting this listing. With many stakeholders involved, each investor has taken a specific stance to what they see to be the utmost benefit to the environment, the species of concern, and what they
