Some populations of polar bears are forced to depend on their stored fat for energy during summer due to melting of the sea ice, which prevents them from hunting more efficiently. Being forced to rely on stored fat leads to a decline in energy intake, which leads to a decline in body mass. A decline in body mass correlates with slower reproductive rates and decreasing
