Polar bears are often thought as the animal that is most effected by global warming, but new research has shown that when the food they prefer is not available, the bears are willing to change their diet, according to the International Business Times. Though they prefer seal, in times when they are not available researchers have found they will eat caribou, snow geese, grass seed and berries.

The English language is being destroyed by our public schools, universities and spellcheck.

That is the advantage of being a resourceful omnivore.
Our children, grandkids, nephews and nieces are successful and resourceful omnivores.

The only thing polar bears have to worry about is so much expansion of the polar icecaps there will be nothing for them to eat but goofey climate scientists studying global warming.
I had no idea Polar Bears are such incredible creatures.
They can eat all sorts of stuff!
Wow!
“’Polar bears are often thought as the animal that is most effected by global warming,’
Learn how to spell, lady. It’s affected.”
As a duly appointed Deputy on the Grammar Police, I heartily agree!
Yes!They’re going to McDonalds instead of the neighborhood sushi bar.
Way back when, the polar bear was a brown bear which adapted to colder climes. So I guess they can adapt and may ultimately return as brown bears or black ones or whatever.
A long time ago I read that they were on the “Timothy Treadwell Diet.”
Climate has always changed, and the planet always adapted to it, same as it ever was.
There is so many now that they are fighting with the monkeys for bannanas.
All mammals are edible. They only part of a mammalian that is toxic to humans is the polar bear liver. It can be fatal eating a polar bear liver. Weird.
Moo had to change her diet to kobi beef and lobster when she was forced to move into the white hut.
nooo, you’re right about that!
Polar bears are descended from grizzly bears which are quite successful omnivores.
The bears store vitamin A in their livers in high concentrations. They get the Vitamin A from eating seals, which eat fish.
