Increased temperatures may decrease a polar bear’s ability to hunt. Higher temperatures can lead to melting ice, reducing the habitat available for both polar bears and ringed seals. This change affects the bears' ability to wait at breathing holes for seals to emerge, making hunting more difficult.
