"Polar Bears' Struggle for Survival: Insights from Camera-Collar Footage"
TL;DR Summary
Scientists attached cameras to polar bears in Hudson Bay, Canada, and were shocked to find that the bears are struggling to find food due to the melting of sea ice caused by climate change. The footage revealed the bears resorting to feeding on bird carcasses, berries, and marine animals, as well as engaging in play-fighting and longer swims, all signs of desperation. Despite these efforts, the bears are losing weight, with one bear losing nearly 80 pounds. This study highlights the dire situation for polar bears as global warming continues to threaten their survival.
