Polar+Bear+Jillian+L

My animal is the Polar Bear. The polar bear lives in the Arctic region. Polar Bears live in cold habitats which is where they live on the edges of ice. Polar bears eat walruses and seals and bearded seals. The polar bears get eaten by whales and their remains are inside the whale for a very long time. Female polar bears give birth to twin cubs and the cubs stay with the female polar bear for two years until their old enough. The females also get pregnant because they have mated with a male polar bear and mate between the ages of four and six years old. They also produce eggs because they have mated with a male. The female polar bear is pregnant for eight months because of delay with implantation. Also they can produce up to five litters at a time and this is very reproductive. Polar bears are omnivores which means they only eat plants and meat for their meals. They also lose their habitat because they are an endangered specie.

The threat to the Polar Bear is global warming which is the number one threat to polar bears. They are also vulnerable because they are endangered species which is listed in the IUCN status red listing. The polar is also vulnerable because they could die and be killed by a hunter. The IUCN status for the Polar bear is listed as Vulnerable. IUCN means International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The World Wildlife is helping the Polar Bear by supporting certain projects from happening to the Polar Bears and preventing any encounters that might be bad for the polar bears such as human beings. Also patrol teams make sure that the Polar Bears are safe so the Polar Bears are not harmed in a certain way with human beings. They also make sure that the Polar Bear has a safe place to live instead of not having a safe place to live in at all.

What I can do to help the Polar Bear is to have a fundraiser by selling t-shirts with the polar bears name on it and put on the t-shirt SAVE THE POLAR BEARS. I could also make $20.00 and give it to the Foundation for the Polar Bears that protects them. Also I could make sure the polar bear has a good home to live in and doesn't have a bad home since it’s under the list of endangered species. I would also make sure that patrol teams can help save the lives of the polar bears and give them a proper home to live in. I could also make sure polar bears get lots of food and nutrients they need to be able to survive without anything being in their way **. **
