Artic Polar Bears are dying rapidly because these large carnivores are victims of the climate change, oil exploration, toxic pollution, and overhunting, all these and many more reasons are leading them to extinction and something needs to be done about it. Artic Polar Bears have made many adaptations to live in the harsh climates of the Artic. These Polar Bears

The number one dog in the world for eight years in a row, that has been around since the 1800s, the Labrador Retriever. It generally comes in three colors, and is an outstanding, amazing breed. One of them saved a life by detecting cancer, while another became a criminal and ended up going to jail. They are known to be intelligent, athletic, and trusting. The Yukon is a snowy, hard location to live in, where there is danger of being abandoned and stuck in the wilderness. The Labrador Retriever can

When people discuss climate change and pollution in the world, one species they typically look at is the polar bears. It has become a common quote of people to claim, “The polar bears are dying,” as they pick a side on the issue of climate change. For the most part, people love polar bears and use it as inspiration to heed the Earth environment. Still, reports have shown that these beloved animals are suffering and need our help. Polar bears, also known as currently have a vulnerable status, as their

other survive in the arctic. A little bit further into the video it says “To them hunting and fishing are as much as a source of pleasure as it is a necessity.” The text supports my answer because, it's saying how the inuits find fishing and hunting together a pleasure as it is a necessity.To sum it up, the Inuits need a strong bond so they can help each other survive like hunting and fishing together. Why would the Inuit have needed to understand the natural patterns of Arctic wildlife so they

Polar Bears The polar bear waits patiently at the breathing hole, waiting for its prey. Seals are just one of the many things polar bears eat, from fish to seals, to beached whales. Polar bears are predators of sheer size and power. One way that also helps polar bears hunt is their appearance. When hunting for anything other than a seal, the bear will use its white coat to get closer to the prey. Polar bears have huge claws and strong jaws with one pointed row of teeth. Polar bears also have small

Surviving through harsh, -16° celsius winters, Polar bears (Ursus Maritimus) have managed to survive the arctic’s freezing conditions year after year. Polar bears are only found in the northern hemisphere, and are an extremely evolved species that have very carefully adapted to the environment (Moskowitz, 2010). They are fast enough to catch caribou, but spend most of their time prowling the ice at a more leisurely pace (Mertz, 2004). They must walk slowly because they typically have problems with

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

Tundra biomes are located in the region just south of the Arctic ice caps, the high mountain tops of North America, Europe, Siberia, half of Canada and most of the Alaskan coast. The summer last 6 to 10 weeks on average and does not get warmer than 50 degrees. In winter the temperature ranges from -20 degrees to 20 degrees. The climate is unusually dry and cold with the rain averaging no more than 10 inches yearly that includes the melted snow. The dry and strong makes the tundra an extreme weather

Merav Ben David, a co-author and part of a team of University of Wyoming researchers whose field in the Arctic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Ocean) was headquarters for the new report, explicated that “many colleagues, even some on our own research team, doubted whether the study was possible, until we actually did it.” WHAT’S HAPPENING TO THE BEARS
