The Polar Bear

1
The Polar Bear

• This 8-10 foot tall bear, weighing 500-1,000
  pounds, is endangered in the Arctic and Antarctic
  regions.

2

• Polar bears are threatened by
• Global warming.
• Chemical pollutants in the bears prey species
  are eaten by the bears.
• Oil and gas development.

3

• If this animal becomes extinct, it could affect
  many other animals. This animal preys on seal and
  walruses, then leaves the remains for other
  scavengers. This could cause an overgrowth in the
  seal and walrus population. Also, artic foxes
  rely specifically on polar bear leftovers. This
  would cause the foxes to be left without food.

4

• This animal could be protected from extinction by
  becoming aware of global warming and how to
  prevent it. Also by stopping the development of
  oil and gas in the Artic region.
