Good morning distinguished teacher, in this opportunity we present this

group work, referring to:

ANIMALS THE DANGER OF


EXTINCTION
THE POLAR BEAR
ROOM:
 Polar bears are classified as marine mammals
because they spend most of their lives on the
sea ice of the Arctic Ocean.
 They have a thick layer of body fat and a
waterproof coating that insulates them from
air and cold water. They are talented
swimmers: They can maintain a pace of six
miles per hour (9.6 kph) by paddling with
their front legs while holding their hind legs
flat like a rudder.

FEEDING
 POLAR BEARS SPEND MORE THAN 50% OF THEIR TIME SEG FOR FOOD. A POLAR BEAR MAY
CATCH ONLY ONE OR TWO OF THE TEN SEALS IT HUNTS, DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR
AND OTHER FACTORS. BECAUSE THEY NEED LARGE AMOUNTS OF FAT TO SURVIVE, THEY
PRIMARILY FEED ON RINGED AND BEARDED SEALS.

The reproduction of the polar bear.
 The males follow the tracks of the reproductive females for several kilometers until they find
them.
 The females reach sexual maturity at five years and the males usually a year later, but they do
not mate until they are 8 or 10 years old, since they need size and strength to face the others.
males in battle Competitions are between two or more males.
 For every female, there are three bears waiting to spawn, so only the biggest, strongest, and
most persistent make it through, while the rest will have to travel farther to find another
available female.
 Polar bears have a polygamous appearance system in which the female goes into heat for three
days and the pairs will stay together for a short period of time. Induced ovulation requires
several mating encounters to stimulate fertilization.

Causes of its extinction
The loss of their habitat, the sea ice, due to climate change, is the biggest threat to the survival of
polar bears.
However, they also face other threats such as conflicts with humans, unsustainable hunting and the
impacts generated by the industry.
Polar bears depend on sea ice as a platform from which they can hunt seals, rest and breed. For
decades, the amount of summer sea ice has decreased and melted over longer periods, so bears are
forced to use longer distances to stabilize near rapidly receding ice.
