Today is #internationalPolarBearDay!

#PolarBears are the largest land predators. They are excellent swimmers and can swim for days.

Nowadays, less than half the cubs survive their first year of life and polar bears may become extinct this century. Being at the top of the food chain, pollutants accumulate and lead to birth defects and other health problems. Less ice means fewer hunting opportunities, having to swim more to get to food, which can make them so exhausted they sometimes drown.
