The Detrimental Effects of Climate Change on Polar Bear Populations
... The early sea-ice breakup is limiting access to major seal populations, which are the bears’ main food source. The bears require high fat diets and can feed on walrus and beluga as well, but since they are also ice-associated prey, they too are hard to access (Peacock, Derocher, Thiemann, & Stirling ...
