Revisiting Polar Bears in a Changing Climate

In this episode of the All Creatures Podcast, hosts Chris and Angie revisit the state of Polar Bears, first covered in 2017, and discuss any notable changes that have occurred over the past few years. They highlight how this majestic creature is struggling with the rapid climate changes in the Arctic. Talking about their role as an 'umbrella species', they explain why humans should care about their conservation. The hosts elaborate on physiological adaptations of the polar bear which help it survive in the harsh climate and also discuss its unique hunting style. Angie cites 'Polar Bear International' as a reliable organization dedicated to the conservation of this species, while Chris touches upon how to offset carbon emissions during travel.
