Polar bears live in the Arctic (north pole) and penguins in the Antarctic (south pole), so we wouldn’t find polar bears in the Antarctic (unless they’d swum a really really long way!).
To save polar bears in the Arctic, we really need to stop global warming and all of the activities that make global warming worse. The biggest impact on polar bears is that they use sea-ice (frozen sea water) to hunt from. They launch themselves off of the ice to catch seals and other prey. But if the ice is too thin, then they just break through. If there isn’t enough ice cover, then they can’t catch the seals and they have to swim further and further to find food.
So to save the polar bears, it’s all the things you already know – we need to use our cars less, turn off lightbulbs when we leave a room, eat less meat, have shorter showers and put on a jumper instead of the heating. It really really helps 🙂
