Here we see a bear hunting for its primary food source — the seal. When the ice is frozen for the winter, the bears can roam freely and hunt for prey. One emerging problem, however, is the slow rise of average temperatures over the past few decades. This results in increasingly longer summers and slower freezing ice. The end result: bears become trapped on land and have to wait longer to roam the ice and hunt for food. For some, the wait can prove to be fatal.
