The Impact of Climate Change on Polar Bears
1:12:48 - 1:17:23 (04:35)
Steve Amstrup, the chief scientist at Polar Bears International, explains that climate change is causing unusual distributions, movements, feeding patterns, cannibalism events, declining stature, and survival rates of polar bears. Hybridization between polar bears and grizzly bears is also beginning to occur as their habitats overlap due to the shift in climates.

Climate Change
Summary
Polar bears are showing unusual distributions, more cannibalism events, declining stature and survival rates, with more bears starving to death due to climate change affecting their habitats. Habitat overlaps with grizzly bears are causing hybridization, which depending on scientists, could either be a good or bad thing.
