Polar Bears 'More Resilient' To Climate Change Than Thought,
2014-01-25 21:10:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
International Business Times: Polar bears are regularly thought of as being among the animals most burdened by climate change, often painted as starved creatures floating aimlessly on shrinking icebergs. But new research is depicting the Arctics greatest predator as one that can actually adapt pretty well to a changing climate, at least when it comes to modifying its diet. Recent research of polar bears diets has produced a vast body of evidence that the bears are turning to other sources of sustenance in times when seals,...

Polar bears hunt on land as ice shrinks

LiveScience: Polar bears have shifted to a diet of more land-based food in response to climate change and melting sea ice in the Arctic, new research finds. The results suggest that polar bears, at least in the western Hudson Bay area, may be slightly more flexible in the face of climate change than previously thought. "We found they were eating more of what is available on the land," including snow geese, eggs and caribou, said study co-author Linda Gormezano, a vertebrate biologist at the American Museum...
Weirdly warm, dry winters lead black bears to halt hibernation

CNN: They barely slept. That's the case for an unusual number of black bears in western Nevada, where an abnormally warm and dry winter has spurred them to halt their hibernation and head out for food. "They may be sleeping under a deck or under a house in a crawlspace, and they will emerge when it is a garbage day and raid some garbage cans and then go back to a sleep for a while," explains Chris Healy, a spokesman for the Nevada Department of Wildlife. Mother Nature can take credit for these bears'...
As More Arctic Ice Melts, Polar Bears Get Creative to Feed Themselves
2014-01-21 22:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: As warming temperatures change the landscape of the Arctic, polar bears there are showing remarkable resiliency in surviving by changing their diet to accommodate, according to recent research. Historically, polar bears' prey of choice are ringed seal pups. But as a warming climate causes Arctic sea ice to melt quicker each year, it limits hunting opportunities for polar bears, who venture out on the ice in search of prey. A group of researchers from the American Museum of Natural History observed...
