Polar dont go!!

If you don't like polar bears.....hit the red cross now.

I have a real soft spot for wildlife and in particular the polar bear. The polar bear is my favourite land based carnivore. But we have recently learnt that it is possible that these amazing bears could be extinct within 50 years due to global warming.

Global warming is melting the sea ice faster than ever before making it even harder for polar bears to hunt for their food. With no ice to walk on....no seals to eat. Polar bears have been known to been found miles out to sea..lost...looking for food and land.


With the sea ice getting thinner, the polar bears are falling through the sea ice and at times drowning.

I recently watched the 'Great melt' on the BBC. I feel that shows just how vulnerable the polar bears really are.

So next time you leave your room, check your check your not wasting energy and that your lights are switched off and spear a thought for the poor polar bear.
