Polar Bears


  • Polar Bears are one of the many animals that are being threaten by global warming.
  • Due to extreme climate changes, large amounts of the Polar Bear's habitat are disappearing.
  • Polar bears are now standing on thin and melting sheets of ice that would eventually break and cause many to float out to sea.
  • According to Defender of Wildlife, fifteen years ago, 65 percent of cubs reach the age of 12 months. Today there are only 42 percent of cubs that reach that age.
  • There are currently 20,000 Polar Bears left in the arctic region.
