We\u2019ve all seen the pictures of starving polar bears, struggling to survive climate change. But as global temperatures continue to rise, experts say bears today are spending up to a month longer than their parents waiting for the ice to return after summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year, starting in late June when the bay ice disappears, polar bears in the northern Canadian province of Manitoba move onto shore to begin a period of forced fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without the sea ice they are unable to hunt for seals, their main source of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“While these bears sit on shore, they’re losing a kilo or two every day. That can go on for about 180 days before they really start to have a problem,” (PBI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
