"Survival Struggles: Polar Bears' Battle for Food in a Warming Arctic"

TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that polar bears are struggling to maintain their weight due to the shrinking Arctic sea ice caused by climate change. The study found that polar bears are expending more energy than they take in while foraging for alternative food sources on land, leading to significant weight loss. With the loss of sea ice habitat, polar bears are spending more time on land, where they are unable to sustain themselves. This raises concerns about their ability to adapt to the changing environment and the potential for starvation and subsequent death among the population.
