Scientists Demolish Polar Bears Theory, Issue Dire Warning
Scientists have issued a dire warning over the survival of polar bears as a previous theory that the species may adapt to warming temperatures has been scrapped.
As climate change continues to put the ice-reliant animals in jeopardy, some experts have previously theorized that they may, in fact, adapt to living with less ice. They believe the species may, with time, start adapting traits from their relatives, the grizzly bear, and begin resting for long periods or switching their diet to land-based animals.
