Polar Bears

Polar bears are heavily impacted by climate change, primarily due to the melting of ice, which disrupts their natural habitat and food sources, such as seals. Adapted for harsh, cold environments, they possess a thick layer of blubber and dense fur to insulate against extreme cold, with their fur sometimes reaching up to 15 cm thick.
