The Polar Bears are 25-30% lighter in weight this year compared to previous years. That is because the waterways have not frozen over solid yet and they can not hunt Seals at the breathing holes the way they usually do. Polar Bears diet consists mainly of Seals that are caught through the Ice Pack in Winter. Then they don't eat for 2-3 months during the warmer Summer months.
If the Polar Bear population declines due to starvation and low birth rate. The seal population will explode and destroy the cold water fishing grounds!
It is all one big vicious circle! |

We have a series called 'Planet Earth' over here in the UK. It had a programme about the Polar Bear and the struggles it faces. i saw some of the most amazing footage of Polar Bears trying to survive, seeing one swim miles acrros water where ice once was, seeing one try and capture a walrus (which are bigger than Polar Bears) with no prevail was quite heart wrenching. the Polar Bears are going to be extinct if we don't sort our shit out and stop polluting this once lovely Earth. if you get the chance to watch this particular 'Planet Earth', I would recommend it Oz, one of the best nature documentries of the modern day, its narrated by a guy call Sir David Attenbrough, our best loved naturalist.
