yes i think they are somewhat endangered beause of the ice caps melting they are being forced to move.
Polar bears are indangered due to the ice melting and the climat changing. They are wonderful aniamls. You see them a lot in coke commercials and in some you see how there inenviroment is changing.
I think that polar bears are having a tough time living in the world that we live in now. Their climate is changing and their habitats are changing to drastcially that they are having lots of trouble living in them and i think that is because of the climate change and global warming. After reading the articles I have found out that yes, polar bears and now on the endangered species list and i think that if we continue to live the way we are living and not try to fix things like global warming that the polar bears will move from the endangered species list to the extinct list.
The Polar Bear is on the endangered species list. I do see alot of Polar Bears on articles and commercials. I think they are on there alot because advertisers think they can make more money that way since Polar Bears have been in alot of commercials and newspaper articles. They think that Polar Bear's draw peoples attention.
If it keeps on getting wamer in the arctic than scientists say by 2050 two thirds of polar bears might disappear. I think that there are quite a bit of polar bears in the media today. I like it cause polar bears are sweet.
The polar ber is an endangered species. I think that there is less polar bear because of how the enviroment is changing but not from global warming and from other thngs.
I think the polar bear paparazzi is slightly wrong. No person should be constantly focusing on one subject, and if that subject was a person they would probably end up sueing or moving to another contenent. It is wrong to do this in my opinion, and polar bears are on the endangered species list.
Well I think that the Polar Bears in the Coca Cola commercials is fine because they are annimated. So they really are not hurting any polar bears and it is just advertisment. No big deal.
Polar Bears are endangered species due to the melting of the Artic but I do not say that, that is golbal warming as to golbal weirdness. I say that though I do not have much information as others. I do not think that golbal warming is a issue compared to global weirdness. Example: This winter if the world was warming up. Why are we having a late spring? Shouldn't it keep creeping closer to January? Then it is going the other direction.
Polar bears are always being hunter too for their fat and hides when they come down from the artic into the Manitoba Region.
Hunting is wrong as I see it, it disgusts me. All for a prize that what? Hangs on your wall. Half the people don't even use the meat or bones for anything.
I think that the world is threatening the Polar Bears because it is from Global Warming. I think the Polar Bears are endangered species because their population is decreasing.
They are just threatened under the Endangered Species list.
I don't reslly see anything about polar bears around as much, the Coke commercial is about the only commercial I have seen them on a lot. Polar bears are concitered threatened or endangered.
I think they partially indangered but we are only cause of a bit of that. It is slowly warming the artic up but polare bears will still be able to live.
I do believ that polar bears are an endangered species but people are making a big deal about it. I think that it is the making of mother nature.
Polar bears are endangered. I dont think that it is right for all of these people to disturb the polar bears by filming them and what not. they are already endangered people should do something to help them instead of taking pictures so we remember them once their gone.
Of course Polar bears are endangered. And like almost every other endangered species, it's our fault they're endangered. There's an old saying that goes "If you can't stand th heat, get out of the kitchen". Well, in this case, the polar bears have nowhere else to go but the kitchen because that's their habitat. I think everyone should take as many pictures as they can of these magnificent creatures... they'll be gone soon. Sad face :(
The polar bears are on the endangered species list. They are on it because global warming and the greenhouse gases are making the weather to warm for the polar bears to live. The ice is all melting so they can't walk around. Polar bears can't swim for that long of a period of time without resting, therefor the polar bears are drowning and dying.
Yes it is their home is being destroyed from global warming and use we hunt them and stuff
Yes, the polar bear is endangered. People are using polar bears for lots of stuff because i think they want everyone to notice that if we dont change soon, they will be extinct.
I think they use them because they are interesting and are endangered. They are listed as an endangered species, melting snow and ice has endangered them the most lately.
I think its so famous because people like them. And yes its on a endarngered species list.
I have found out that the polar bear is really on the endangered species list which is kinda unfair and everyone needs to do smething about it because polar bears arent harmful to anyone at all and the thing is most people could care less for animals all around the world which isnt the right thing to be doing because some animals can be enviromentally helpful for us.
The polar bear is on the endangered species list. Companies like coca cola are using them on advertisments so people are reminded about it.
Polar bears are indangeredspecies now.
The reason why polar bears are endangered species is because of global warming. They are ment to live in cold climates but the global warming effect is changing there invironment, causing many of them to dround.
polar bears are becoming extinct and there is becoming fewer every year. so they are using them in advertising and things like that so peoplewill take more care of the environment and they want to keep polar bears still alive so people notice them more.
Ithink having polar bears in their commercials helps sell their products cuz everyone likes polar bears. It is true they are an endangered species.
There is lots of polar bear paparazzi. Yes polar bears are on the endangered species list.
Polar Bears being endangered is a result of global warming. Because of all the air polution sun rays are being trapped inside the atmosphere causing ice to melt from the heat.
Polar bear paparazzi is not a big deal if they aren't actually using the real polar bears. They shouldn't do anything that will hurt them in any way.
I'm thinking that the polar bears are more than likely to be the next to extinct because they are not making much success living out in the cold water with no pieces of ice to rest on. I think that there is nothing really special that we can do for our mistake on global warming that can save polar bears and many yet to come.
I agree with what the article said about Global Warming not being the cause of the polar bears making the endangered species list. They said that it is just from them bein hunted which I believe is true.
I think that polar bears are an endangered spies because of global warming that causes the ice to melt and they have no wheres to go
