So what’s the problem? WHAT?

WHY?

Why do the polar bears care?

But they CAN swim?

Polar bears are excellent swimmers - their Latin name means ‘sea bear’. They can comfortably swim at around 6mph, using their front paws like oars while their hind legs are held flat like a rudder

So what’s the problem?

Climate change is pulling the sea ice out from under polar

bears’ feet

They can’t swim forever- longer distances between the ice means greater risk of drowning, especially for cubs

The ice melting means that the bears have less time and habitat to hunt- they need the ice to hunt sealsBBC Nature - Polar bear videos, news and facts
