        Hey Mimi,

        It would be really sad if there were no polar bears!! ?

        If a species becomes extinct it can have knock on effects for a whole chain of animals. For example, there might end up being too many of the fish that polar bears normally eat (because the polar bears are not there to eat them) ? ? this can then affect the other fish in the sea.

        Did you know that polar bears actually are not white?? their hair is hollow and it reflects light, making it look white

        Hi Mimi! If there were no more polar bears it would have an impact on other animals in the Arctic. Some animals like the Arctic fox rely on food left behind polar bears. It would be sad if there were no polar bears! One of the beautiful things about Earth is how many different species of animals and plants there are. If we lose them they won’t ever come back so we need to look after the planet to make sure animals don’t become extinct!Polar bears are my favourite animals!
