When were polar bears put on the endangered list?

Question

When were polar bears put on the endangered list?

Answer 1

They weren't placed on the "endangered" list, they're on the threatened list.

Answer 2

Never.  They were put on the US threatened species list.  It's a couple steps down from endangered.

Answer 3

That is BS, polar bears have been breeding like crazy. They are not endangered. The only reason the bears have been targeted is that the brain dead people will say no when it comes to drilling in ANWR. Don’t believe this crap… They are plentiful and probably appreciate the warm pipes the oil would flow through just to have some warmth, but no the environmental crowd is denying the bears a little warmth in the dead of a frozen land.
