Why is ice so important to the survival of the polar bear in the arctic?


A. The polar bears can’t out swim the seals, so they sit quietly on an ice platform and attack the seals when they come
up for air.

B. The polar bears are hibernating for longer periods of time, so they are not able to get the food necessary to survive.

C. The sea ice is important because the polar bears use the ice to go on their migration to warmer land areas

D. The sea ice provides a place for the polar bears to take a nice nap in the sunshine.

Answer 1

Hi! The correct answer is B. We know this because polar bears do not migrate to warmer areas, nor do they use ice to take a “nice nap in the sunshine”. Although A is technically correct, they can still get food without seals. The only rational answer is B; I mean, they would starve if they didn’t get fat during the winter!

Answer 2

There are a couple reasons the ice is important to polar bears, but given the choices you have the correct one would be:

A. The polar bears can’t out swim the seals, so they sit quietly on an ice platform and attack the seals when they come up for air.
