Question

Could they move the polar bears to Antarctica if the North Pole area keeps melting?

Answer 1

They could, but then bears will eat all penguins.

Answer 2

Ah, no.  The seals in Antarctica aren't the same kind that polar bears normally eat.  Plus, polar bears are used to a freeze and thaw cycle that just isn't the same in Antarctica.

Answer 3

That is not necessary. They will survive. They even survived the last interglacial period, which was warmer than the expected change of climate.

Answer 4

I guess they could. But what would be the cost?

Answer 5

Moving them would kill them.

First get off the global warming kick, it's not endangering the polar bears, it's making them move. That's all.

I live in Alaska i have first hand knowledge of whats going on with the bears, we have a huge vested interest in them.

The bears are following their food, global warming is shrinking the ice sheets but since polar bears are aquatic mammals like dolphins and whales they are fine. ( and if you don't believe they are classified as aquatic mammals look it up yourself)

Now their main food source, mostly walrus's and seal, use the ice to rest, if the ice shrinks they move, which cause's the bears to move. Activists like to paint a doom and gloom picture because it serves their interests. What they fail to point out is that the primary cause of polar bear cub death's isn't caused by starvation, it's caused by large male polar bears. Something that has repeatedly been shown to be fixed by controlled hunting.

The polar bears will be endangered if activists have their way but not if they keep their noses out of it. Right now the polar bears are doing great. We have a sustainable healthy population in alaska and then there are the canandian, and other countries, all of which have healthy polar bear populations. Don't be sucked into everything you read and hear, do your own research and you'll see that global warming actually has little effect on polar bears other than causing them to leave their current hunting ground and follow their food source. Something that doesn't bother them because they are nomadic by nature. Often traveling hundreds of miles in the course of a few weeks.

So no, if large males are allowed to be hunted within strict guidelines the polar bears will be doing fine. females are breeding well ,often producing twins. Males are eating them. The biggest threat to polar bears are other polar bears. The worst that will happen is that america might lose it's population of polar bears as they chase their food source

Answer 6

Aside from all the other problems people mentioned, Antarctica IS MELTING TOO!!!  

Answer 7

Yeah, they'll just throw them on some planes and drop them in the middle of Antarctica, that'll work!
