La principal amenaza para el oso polar 🐻‍❄️ es la pérdida de su hábitat, en gran medida consecuencia del #CambioClimático 🌡️🌍

Desde 2003, el Ártico ha perdido 1/3 del hielo marino invernal 🧊

¡Feliz Día Internacional del Oso Polar! ❄️🤍

¿Sabías que el pelo del oso polar en realidad no es blanco? Su piel es negra y su pelo es hueco. Además, su pelaje de doble capa lo protege del frío aire del Ártico.

I did not know it’s “Polar Bear Day.” From the U.S. Naval Institute’s FB page.

“It's International Polar Bear Day! In 2003, fast attack submarine U.S.S. Connecticut (SSN-22) had partly surfaced in an ice pack when a polar bear began to lick and paw the exposed rudder to determine if it was worth eating. The bear eventually decided he was not in the mood for a sub and wandered off.”#PolarBearDay

#PolarBearDay 🐻‍❄ Aujourd’hui, c'est la Journée Internationale de l'ours polaire ! Si les #ours polaires sont parfaitement adapté à leur milieu naturel, le réchauffement climatique pourrait entraîner leur quasi-extinction d'ici 2100...
Alors vite, agissons ! 💪💙

Oh, and anyone who says “polar bear numbers are increasing” or “sea ice isn’t declining” or “climate change isn’t real” gets instablocked. Go and read the science (for example on https://polarbearsinternational.org/faq/ ). #PolarBearDay

It’s the day we’ve all been waiting for: #PolarBearDay! Polar bears are under increasing pressure as their habitat changes due to the #ClimateEmergency. Some polar bear populations seem to be holding steady at the moment, while others are decreasing.

Polar bears are being brought into conflict with humans as sea ice declines, and polar bear reproduction is threatened as mothers are in worse condition and less able to care for cubs.

If people say "#PolarBears don't eat #penguins", is that an assumption, just a geographical statement or ... have scientists actually checked this in a controlled experiment?
