Grizzly Bears - they are large bears that inhabit North America. Many people hunt them. Moose - largest existent species in the deer biological family. Moose are herbivores. Mountain Goats - known as the Rocky Mountain goat, is a large hoofed mammal found in Vancouver, Canada. Coyotes - a canine native to North America. It is smaller than its close relative, the gray wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf. Harbour Seals - known as the common seal.

Polar bears are seen starving to death as they tread on the foreign iceless land. The earth’s ice, most commonly seen in Antarctica, begins to melt due to the rise in temperatures, rising sea levels as well. High temperatures affect the dry lands of California as deadly wildfires are produced throughout the North and South and have also taken the lives of people. All of these dire issues and more have gone viral through news broadcasting and the culprit of these devestations leads back to climate

The ownership of Hans island has been disputed for over a century between Denmark and Canada. Hans island is an uninhabited and small island in the Nares strait separating Canada and Greenland. It is 1.3 km2 and named after a Greenlandic explorer named Hans Hendrik. This disagreement between the two countries started because technically the island is both in Canada’s and Greenland’s territories. Under international law, a state owns the water and any island(s) it may contain twelve miles from the

cannot grow due to the lack of water, extremely cold temperatures and super short growing seasons. A common trait of nearly all animals that inhibit the tundra is that they have white fur. Common animals that call the tundra their home are the arctic fox, arctic hare, caribou, and of course, the polar bear. Seals reside in the freezing waters that surround the tundra, and are a major food source for the polar bears. Plants in the tundra include mosses, lichen, and grasses. Trees do not grow here because

dark brown, tan and different shades of grey. They mainly eat fish and shellfish. The harbor seal fits in as a secondary consumer, meaning it is a carnivore and eats primary consumers such as fish. Harbor seals play a huge role in the Coastal Arctic ecosystem. They are predators of fish and invertebrates (controlling population) also it provides for the top predators. It also plays a huge role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem. Also a lot of parasitic species use this seal as a host. (home)

Polar bears are one of the endangered species today. There are about 25,000 polar bears alive today (Ryan). The population has gotten bigger in time; in 1970 the population was very low. Polar Bears are very large animals and they are carnivorous. They like icy habitats and have thick fur. A group of polar bears are called a pack or sleuth (Beening). You can help polar bear to not be endangered by not hurting them. Polar bears are unlike brown bears they do not hibernate (Beening). Polar bears

Adaptations of Polar Bears By Liu Yawen (Chloe) Since thousands of centuries ago, in order to deal with extreme environment conditions, plants animals as well as microorganisms have developed the ability to adapt to different kinds of environments or habitats. The process by which creatures use to fit their habitats to survive and reproduce is called adaptation. The long and strong tails of kangaroos, the black-white stripes of zebras, the huge humps of camels---these

Protect the Arctic Refuge Jimmy Carter’s forward to Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Seasons of life and Land, A Photographic Journey by Subhankar Banerjee asserts that the Arctic Wildlife Refuge should be protected by the government and the people of America. Carter supports his argument by using imagery, historical evidence, and tone. First, Carter uses a description of the Arctic refuge to prove that imagery supports his requests. The Arctic Refuge is described as “As the never setting sun circled

places are drastically changing and it is affecting animals and other life around it. A lot of the environmental changes are caused by the weather changing. These changes can cause animals to struggle in everyday tasks like finding food to eat. The Arctic ice is slowly melting away and this is really hurting the polar bear population. This weather change is causing the polar bears to have a big diet change. They are now catching less seals but they are traveling a greater distance across the ice. This

Polar Bear Evolution is a Continuing Story 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
