Polar Bear SwimmingThreatened by extinction due to global warming, Polar bears might just get it through troubled times.  Thanks to goose and duck eggs, polar bears might have found a new food source.

The eggs are possibly coming in due to a rising goose population in the Hudson Bay area providing food for the polar bears whose natural habitat have been melting in the past years.  The ice has been melting forcing some bears either farther north or down south – towards land.  Those who go down are forced to survive on its own fat reserves because they’re not adept to hunting on land.

But scientists don’t think the new food source might last long because polar bears would need to consume 43 nests of eggs to replace the energy provided by the seals they used to hunt.  On the other hand, some say that polar bears are very adaptable and might just survive.

They might not be called polar bears anymore though when they’re no longer in the polar regions.
