polar bear habitat

Polar bears primarily live on sea ice in the Arctic region, which they depend on for hunting seals, their main food source. This icy habitat provides a platform for resting, breeding, and raising their young. As climate change causes sea ice to melt earlier in the year, polar bears have to travel further or go without food, threatening their survival. They are well-adapted to cold temperatures, with thick fur and a layer of fat. Their habitat is crucial for their existence, mainly consisting of floating ice in Arctic waters, which varies seasonally and year-to-year.
