Speech On Polar Bear

The Earth's rise in temperature is melting ice in its colder regions. Many animals who live in the Arctic Circle, the lands surrounding

Throughout the film, Natalie does a few things to manipulate Leonard into doing things that are going to help her. This is not going to do anything to help Leonard in his search for his wife's killer. Natalie is brought into the film where she gets intimately involved with Leonard, as well as wanting to help Leonard find the person who killed his wife because she feels bad for him and his condition that he must live with. One specific time that she uses Leonard is when she has him run Dodd out of town to protect herself because he is after her and the money he believes she stole from him. She does this because of the fact that she is scared that Dodd is going to hurt her, but my thinking is that she also knows that Leonard was involved in the

Manifest Destiny is the idea that God intended the United States to expand from sea to sea. This means to expand and settle all land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The idea really came into light in the 1830’s and 40’s, but really you could see the American's desire to continuously expand all the way back to the 17th and 18th centuries (A Patriot’s History of the United States). However, the term itself came from an 1840s Democratic newspaper supporting the Mexican-American War.    Thomas Jefferson was the first president to have a huge impact on western expansion with the Louisiana Purchase that greatly increased the size of the United States (The Monroe Doctrine and American Expansion).

Unfortunately, these bears are losing critically important foods, especially when craving something larger than their usual diet. Cutthroat trout, Whitebark pine seeds, and Elk populations have decreased, leaving bears in

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.

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.

Gunnar’s Identity Culture Identity and street life are very important in The White Boy Shuffle as it exposes Gunnar to multiple “worlds” where he can see how different other places can be. Gunnar lived in the white town of Santa Monica, where he was much different from everyone. He had a different skin color and culture, and his mom didn’t like how he was an outsider and wanted him to be with his people. He moved to a hillside, a place according to his mom was more culturally fitting. Gunnar struggles with his identity because of his old and new town, as it has been hard for him to fit in with everyone.

As a result, humans are slowly destroying the bear's ability to reproduce, and function in a normal way. By removing chemicals such as mercury, DDT, PCBs and lindane to name a few from our waste it is possible that the world may be able to retain our population of arctic polar bears, and preserve the beautiful creature for generations to come. Alternatively, people should use this as a warning of things to come if they continue to be so irresponsible about their waste. The implications to other ecosystems could be sufficiently more devastating than what is being witnessed in the arctic, and it is humanity's responsibility to take action now before it is too

One of the stand out animals there are the polar bears. Polar bears are known to roam and swim for hours. They spend their days hunting and sleeping after a great meal. They are surrounded by cold snow and ice, and enjoying their day in the snow (?Where do Polar Bears Live,? (n.d)). A polar bear usually feeds on seals. At the San Diego Zoo, the polar bear is woken up at 6:20 when the zookeeper makes its way to feed the polar bears. They are placed in separate rooms to eat, and their meal usually consists of meat, fish, and dog chow. Keep in mind, in the wild, polar bears prefer eating just seals, particularly ringed seals, but they don?t offer that here (?Polar Bear Mornings,? (n.d.)). The reason they don?t feed them seals is because a seal?s body is comprised of fat. Seals are an energy-rich food source, and one seal can provide eight days worth of energy. The fat keeps the polar bears warm in the cold artic (?What Does A,? (n.d.)). Keep in mind in San Diego the average temperature is about 70 Degrees Celsius. The polar bear?s diet is altered. They are also not able to hunt their food, which is what keeps them busy and entertained. The average polar bear enclosure in captivity is 1 million times smaller than the natural range of a polar bear in the wild. At around 9am the bears are moved to the main exhibit. Here people stare at them all

In the northern climes of Canada (think Churchill), it's possible to watch, photograph and video polar bears! It is s recommended wheelchairs are used with caution, but when the snow and weather conditions allow, it's a phenomenal place to witness some of Canada's most majestic animals in action. It should be noted, however, that the use of dogs and sleds is not uncommon; many well-trained teams are available to rent, complete with experienced mushers.

A research scientist stands on a sheet of ice. He looks right, then left, more ice. Off in the distance are mountains of ice. There are open patches of water in the middle of this great land of ice reflecting the vibrant and glowing sun. Waiting with patience around one patch is a polar bear, white and skinny. Skinny, as the polar bear has not eaten in days. It stands watch with hopeful eyes that a big, juicy seal will pop its head out just enough to get a bite and haul the seal on shore to feed itself and the bear’s two cubs. This area is known as the arctic, and it is home to many animals, such as the polar bear, but they are in danger of losing their home due to the melting ice caps. At the beginning of the article “The geopolitics of Arctic melt”, Charles K. Ebinger, the director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at Brookings Institution, as well as Evie Zambetakis, a Senior Research Assistant at Brookings Institute in 2009, asserts their credence of how the thawing Arctic, due to Global warming, increased the interest of the area worldwide.

Scientists say that the melting of Arctic ice and ice caps are harmful to essential life of arctic animals like polar bears because they live on Arctic ice and ice caps (Rinkesh). Research has proven both of these theories wrong. The Arctic ice and ice caps have increased and are still increasing. Since 2012, the Arctic ice and ice caps have increased in volume by fifty percent (Foley). There are over twenty thousand polar bears in the world and over sixty percent of these polar bears live in Canada (Matishov). The population of polar bears is increasing and staying at a stable rate, depending on their location (Global Warming and Polar Bears). Since, both of these theories have been proven wrong, we do not believe that “global warming” is affecting the Arctic ice or Arctic

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,
