Approx. 62.5 Miles is how far the polar bear has to swim to find food. Researchers have now found proof that the bears are dying due to global warming.
They are all great swimmers but the distance they need to travel has gotten too far. They simply drown along the way in the icy waters. Several bears have been found along the northern coast of Alaska last month.
Even though the temperature has only shifted a few degrees it has done enough damage to the areas where the polar bears dwell. Large ice caps have melted away leaving many bears stranded with no option but to swim.
This will naturally push the bears even further north where ice shelfs are still intact. There are about 20,000 polar bears today in the arctic parts of the world, all soon will compete for the same foods in less space.
And NO, there are no polar bears in Sweden...not for the last 12,000 years.
it could be all the coca-cola they're drinking.
