The abiotic change that may decrease a polar bear’s ability to hunt is increased temperatures. As temperatures rise, ice cover may diminish or become less stable, making it difficult for polar bears to wait for seals at their breathing holes. This change negatively impacts their hunting efficiency and overall survival.
