Polar Bear with a head-cam shows Arctic plight – euronews
Article Synopsis – Scientists have equipped a female polar bear living on the ice sheet of the Beaufort Sea with a camera to help them understand how polar bears hunt and live with diminishing ice cover. Polar bears are Arctic predators and although they can be adept swimmers, they are not efficient marine hunters. They need ice to catch their prey. With rising temperatures and diminishing ice sheets, polar bears are less able to hunt and are less able to survive. There are an estimated 25,000 living in the wild, and they are currently listed as a ‘vulnerable species’ by the World Wildlife Foundation. To read the actual article click here.
