Help the Polar Bears!

Help the Polar Bear!

          Hello, this is IGL and this post is about helping polar bears. Polar bears are the largest carnivorous mammal living on the earth, meaning that they are the largest mammal that eats meat on lives on land. The polar bear, or Ursus Maritimus, lives in arctic regions of the Earth, including Alaska, Northern Canada, Norway, and the North Pole.

          Polar bears are adapted to such freezing temperatures. These polar bears have tiny ears, which is a benefit because it makes them harder to see in the snow and it’s harder for them to freeze off. They don’t necessarily need to hear for predators, since they’re the highest on the food chain, but they can still sense for other animals because of their keen sense of smell. Their paws have a rough pad underneath them, which helps them hunt more efficiently and swim easily. They also aid these bears spread their weight on ice so they don’t fall in the water, and to grip the ice around them.

          However, these polar bears won’t be seen more often in the future. Because of humans, their environment is disappearing. The burning of fossil fuels caused by people is the main reason why these polar bears are soon to be extinct. The use of automobiles and electricity is why these poor animals are dying away. The greenhouse gases caused warms the Earth’s climate, and the temperatures in the Arctic regions rise. The ice would melt, and polar bears wouldn’t have a place to live anymore.

          There are many ways to help. You could:

1.     Spread the word.

2.    Start a petition and get people to sign it.

3.    Stop using so much fossil fuel. Cars, computers, and light bulbs use fossil fuel. Try walking or biking to short distances for a change.

4.    Plant more trees to spread oxygen instead of more carbon dioxide.
