Smokey Bear

Endangered Species Summary Polar Bear Jaksen Perrin, Kelsie Pierce, and James Ryburn Ursus maritimus, otherwise called Polar bears, are essentially large white bears with large, flat, webbed feet used for swimming and roaming on ice. They live in regions between the arctic circle and the North Pole where there is a lot of water and ice, a habitat they have evolved to live in over time. Unlike most bear species, Polar bears are considered to be “marine mammals” meaning they are categorized…

result of the pollutants that get to the Artic Sea. Polar bears obtain all of these pollutants through the food web.The population of the polar bear is in danger and it continues to decline every year. If the climate change continues to impact negatively the polar bear and if the human beings do not do anything to improve the environment of the polar bear, in a…

Polar bears and penguins are usually found mostly in the arctic or cold areas of the earth. Sometimes it can get to as cold as - 29℃, with little protection the weather can be deadly. Polar bears and penguins have so many different adaptations and ways of protecting themselves from the weather and keeping warm by using convection, conduction and radiation. Some ways they keep warm by using the 3 heat loss methods are . . . Polar bears lose a lot of heat just through their tail and ears. Their…

In order for polar bears to preserve their species and live long healthy lives, and avoid stress, they must live in a stable environment with an appropriate consistent diet. Since Polar Bears have been recognized as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in 2008 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (The Alaska Zoo 2005), it is essential to use precaution to preserve them. Captive facilities like the Alaska Zoo possess the sufficient resources for the polar bears that will aid in…

at least one polar bear is tightly grasping onto a single slab of ice that barely supports its body weight of over two-thousand pounds. Due to increasing sea levels, the ice that the polar bear is lying on will evaporate in less than two months. Paddling to find land will lack success as miles of shark-infested waters and several other threats lie between it and a temporary Shangri-la. Its chances of survival are slim, but to lower this probability even further, the polar bear is consistently…

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…

under and overcoats that they shed once a year. Seals are protected from the cold by a thick layer of blubber combined with a tick fur coat. Another animal resistant to cold weather is the polar bear; this animal it has its protection from his thick fur and because of its large and heavy body. The polar bears are very good swimmers in cold water. Also, when they swim long distances they cover most of the distance floating on ice. It certainly helps to be big and…

Imagine a polar bear, sitting on the edge of the ice. He’s at the northernmost point of the earth, with family behind him. They are in sight, as the father bear makes his way across the slippery frozen wasteland. Suddenly, the ice fractures. The arctic animal floats away on an iceberg into nothingness, to never see his family ever again. Do you want this to happen to a hopeless, innocent animal? Well, it’s already happening which is why global warming is a serious issue and needs to be dealt…

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, particularly in near shore annual ice over the continental shelf where biological productivity is highest. However, to a large degree under scenarios predicted by climate change models, these preferred sea ice habitats will be substantially altered. Spatial and temporal sea ice changes will lead to shifts in trophic interactions involving polar bears through reduced availability and abundance of their…

Topic: Not Too Late for Polar Bears Specific purpose: To inform the class about the Arctic is warming too. How will Polar Bears survive by 2050? Central idea: Without Polar Bears, other animals couldn’t survive. Polar Bears kill other animals so that smaller animals can eat to survive. Smaller animals do this by eating the leftover scraps from polar bears. Introduction: On August 1881 a naturalist by the name of John Muir sailing off the coast of Alaska discovered a large mammal. He said they…
