HONG KONG: Scientists don’t think polar bears have much of a chance if they are forced off of sea ice due to global warming, arguing that land food won’t adequately replace fat-laden seals in their diets.
Studies that indicate the bears could survive off bird eggs, berries, and other land foods are off-base, according to a review paper that was published recently in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, as reported by the Associated Press.
The paper, which reviews current research on polar bears, examines the idea that land food is becoming more important to polar bears and could increase their changes of survival if sea ice continues to recede, making seal hunting much more difficult.
