Polar bears live in a rapidly warming habitat. That’s making it hard for them to find food. They usually hunt for seals on the ice that covers the sea around the North Pole. But higher temperatures due to climate change are melting the ice. This makes it harder for polar bears to catch the seals.
Recently, scientists learned the clever bears are changing what they eat! Some are hunting different prey, such as walrus and caribou, that they can catch on land. Trying new foods and hunting strategies may help polar bears survive in a warmer world.
