The Polar Bear is being endangered by global warming. So even the slightest darkness is saving them thats why you should always put the light on for some reason this is an advice so please think before you turn on the light next time. Polar Bears Survived Interglacial Period Great news for polar bears, the monstrous beasts that have earned the undying affection of environmentalists by being one of the extremely few species that will hunt down humans and kill us for food: a jaw bone found on the Svalbard archipelago suggests that polar bears have been around for at least 110,000–130,000 years. That means that the species has survived an interglacial period, of the type global warming hucksters pretend we're heading toward now. Even if the Goracle's most frenetic fantasies were to come true, and the North Pole were to melt in the foreseeable future, people living in northern latitudes will still get eaten by polar bears.
EDGE RANKINGS 493 |  The world's largest predator found on land, an adult male weighs around 400–680 kg (880–1,500 lb), while an adult female is about half that size. Although it is closely related to the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrow ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet. As it can hunt consistently only from sea ice, the polar bear spends much of the year on the frozen sea, although most polar bears are born on land. Polar bears are among the largest predators in the world. They range in color from pure white after a molt to a yellowish shade resulting from solar oxidation or staining by oil from seal blubber. Their skin, nose and lips are black in color. Polar bears’ long neck and narrow skull aid in streamlining the animal in water, and their large, flat and oar-like front feet make them strong swimmers. Their fur is thicker than any other bears’ even covering their feet, for warmth and traction on ice. Polar bears also have a thick layer of blubber which provides buoyancy and insulation. |
