Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Climate change The Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average, causing the ice that polar bears depend on to melt away. Loss of sea ice also threatens the bear’s main prey, seals, which need the ice to raise their young.
Detailed explanation-2: -Threats. The loss of sea ice habitat from climate change is the biggest threat to the survival of polar bears.
Detailed explanation-3: -Receding ice creates risks for marine species The declines in sea ice thickness and extent, along with changes in the timing of ice melt, are putting animals that are particularly ice-dependent-such as narwhals, polar bears and walrus-at risk.
