I would think that a bear that is all white would fare better in warmer climes..........

Their diets can include fish, kelp, caribou, ducks, sea birds, the occasional beluga whale and musk ox and scavenged whale and walrus carcasses.

What about penguins?

Speaking of Polar Bears, I’m assuming that most Polar Bears are wild, and since there are no woods up there, where do they poop?

[Flycatcher]

Of course, now that we appear to be entering a period of “GLOBAL COOLING” does this mean the polar bears are in jeopardy again?

The white fur lets sunlight travel on to the bears skin and heat it. It’s a green house affect:)

These stories of “declining bear populations” are outright lies
Polar bears ‘thriving as the Arctic warms up

Pictures of a polar bear floating precariously on a tiny iceberg have become the defining image of global warming but may be misleading, according to a new study.

Polar bear experts said that numbers had increased due to the efforts of conservationists

A survey of the animals’ numbers in Canada’s eastern Arctic has revealed that they are thriving, not declining, because of mankind’s interference in the environment.

“There aren’t just a few more bears.
There are a hell of a lot more bears,” said Mitch Taylor, a polar bear biologist who has spent 20 years studying the animals.
His findings back the claims of Inuit hunters who have long claimed that they were seeing more bears.

In the Davis Strait area, a 140,000-square kilometre region, the polar bear population has grown from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 today...

I’m going to have to dust up on my bear biology before I can make an intelligent comment about this.

[ASA Vet]

There are a lot of FReepers still on dial-up who are cussing you out now.

4 year old Grandson was just looking over my shoulder,
“Hey that polar bear has a beer!”

[Wil H]

You’ve been watching too many Al Gore movies, haven’t you? ....:-)

[Red Badger]

Beer?..........He’s old enough to recognize a beer, but not a coca-cola?.........
