Most polar bears live alone and wander over floating sheets of ice in search of their prey. Their main source of food is seals. The second largest land carnivore, a polar bear may weigh 1,600 pounds (725 kg). The white coat provides camouflage and protection from the cold. The white hairs are hollow and give the bear protection by retaining almost all of its body heat. Beneath these hairs the animal has a plush undercoat of fat to keep it warm. The polar bear's principal source of food is the seals it attacks in their breathing holes or out on the ice pack. Polar bears live in the far north on the islands and along the cold seacoast of the arctic Ocean.
So Polar bears live "on the islands and along the seacoast"? Therefore the dogma we hear about the ice melting and the bear habitat to get smaller habitat is a lie? And since even IF the ice WERE getting smaller it would open more water for the bears to fish so the bears are in absolutely NO danger of become extinct or threatened at all? Correct?
