Polar bears are a species of carnivorous bear that live in the Arctic. They weigh between 150-1000 kg as adults and feed on animals like walruses, beluga whales, and seals. Polar bear cubs stay with their mothers for over 20 months, learning to hunt and survive. Global warming has negatively impacted polar bear populations by reducing sea ice for hunting and travel, causing food scarcity and dangerous conditions for swimming between ice platforms.

on her for survival.
In the Low Artic weaning occurs as cubs approach their second
birthday. Cubs in the high artic generally receive an additional year
of care.

3. HOW ARE THE POLAR BEARS AFFECTED BY GLOBAL
WARMING?
 Decreasing population size
 Sea ice platforms are separated and producing more
dangerous conditions for swimming
 There are few opportunities for increases hunting and food
scarcity
WHAT FOOD DO THEY EAT?
They eat article animals for example:
 Walruses
 Belugas
 White – nosed dolphins
 Ground dams
 Carrion
