998973945 TUT0104 10/23/2014 Promoting Higher Education of The Canadian Arctic Environment For Inuit & First Nations Through reading Shelagh Grant’s book, “Polar Imperative,” the understanding I have come to is that the Arctic is a much more politically complex and socially diverse ecosystem than I once previously assumed. Previously viewing the Arctic as a barren frozen tundra with scarce species, including polar bears, seals, and fish. Through reading Polar Imperative my view has…

hunts. Lastly, how the animal repopulate. This are some reason why the polar bear are one of the most interesting animals on earth. Polar bears also known as ursus maritius is one of the most dangerous mammals on earth. They are found in the arctic circle which includes Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada, Denmark, Greenland, and Iceland (WWF. "Polar Bear." WorldWildlife.org. World Wildlife Fund, n.d. Web. 12 Jan. 2015). The Polar Bear comes from the grizzly bear but the polar bear…

Polar bears live on the sea ice floes, surrounded by the Arctic ocean. They have an abundant source of seawater, which, unfortunately is not drinkable. Sea water is too salty and would make the polar bears thirstier even more. There are no fresh drinkable waters in the Arctic, yet, animals like polar bear require water to survive. However, polar bears can go a very long time without drinking any. They sometimes consume on snow, melting it into water. But, they can’t gain a large quantity of…

Another cause of the Mandela Effect is suggest reasoning. One of the most famous examples of the Mandela Effect can be explained with suggested reasoning. This theory is that the last name has changed of a family of bears that every child should be familiar with, the Berenstain bears- or is it Berenstein bears. The name of the actual bear family is Berenstain, but growing up some may remember it as Berenstein, well to explain this sudden change is suggested reasoning. The suffix -stein is far…

ends there. But for me it went much deeper than that. I am reminded of a Latin proverb, “A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, a fool from his own.” Robert was out in the arctic on a seafaring adventure to make some grand discovery. He is following his dreams and aiming for the stars. Upon sailing in the arctic he meets Victor Frankenstein. Victor tells him his story and warns him of letting his ambition blind him. Robert decides to turn his ship around and head home after hearing…

Lynx I think lynx are interesting animals. From there pointy ears to there little bobbed tails. They have cool traits that help them to survive. There are different kinds of lynx that i will be talking about. They all have slight differences but they are all very similar. Lynx have long legs and a short bobbed tail. They also have tufts of fur on their ears. Many people don’t know why they have those or don’t know that it is actual useful to them. The hair on their ears enhances their…

restoration and expansion as a species. It is imperative that an alternative lifestyle is provided for them to conserve their species and avoid extinction. The Alaska Zoo is one of many nonprofit organizations that is a Polar Bears International (PBI) Arctic Ambassador Center since 2004, who strive to have a positive influence on these bear’s lives in captivity, and promote the need for change and action for the wild polar bears that are enduring sea ice thawing due to climate change (The Alaska…

Bears bodies help them survive in their habitat and keep warm in the winter. “Bears have heavy bodies with long, thick fur, loose skin, and large, hairy heads.”I researched how bears bodies help them survive, along with how bears survive in the cold, frosted winter. First off, bears bodies help them survive. “Bears have heavy bodies” with “loose skin” and “large, hairy heads.” Bears have hefty paws and needle-sharp nails to dig up food for themselves or bugs, they can as well tear their prey…

exhibit is terrain which was a smooth flattened rock surface with several big rocks for the bear to climb up on. The other half of the exhibit was a pool of water, the zoo designed the pool with the edges of the pool to be white, to perhaps give a more arctic feel for the viewers. Also, there were many toys present for the polar bear to play with, including a bowling ball, a small looking metal trash can, and a rubber ball. Unfortunately, when I visited the bear, he was sleeping and I did not…

One of the natural conditions that animals struggle is with surviving freezing cold, but whether is freezing or hot, animals always find the way to survive. One way to survive is to migrate; animals can relocate to one area with more heat along with more food. Some animals remain and stay active in the winter. They must adapt to the changing weather. Many others make changes in their body behavior. One important reason that animals could be better survivors in cold weather is because of their…
