darker furred bears will begin to flourish in regions previously dominated by polar bears because of the change in color of the terrain? If the icecaps melted completely would the polar bears border on extinction? Your thoughts R & S?

it's possible that the polar bears will go extinct.

Polar bears need the ice to get their food source - seal cubs. The polar regions are actually quite rich in food, the trick is to get there in the summer and not be there in the winter. Once the polar bears go extinct, there might be an explosion in the seal population but with all the toxins in the water these days, that will probably limit the numbers of seals.

If the ice caps melted completely, many animals would be extinct, along with the polar bears.
It is a pattern that climate changes do affect which animals live where they live, so it is conceivable that other bears could move into that territory.

Polar bears already ARE bordering on extinction. I just read the article this week.

yes polar bears will be screwed, not because of camoflauging (bears have almost no natural predators), but because of change in environment and food sources
as far as the icecaps melting, no bears will take over that region because there will be water, no land

They're already finding polar bears drowning hundreds of miles from the nearest ice, so anything's possible.

I think that with the melting of the polar ice caps, Russia will get a better angle to attack the US.
Bears? Yeah, they call them that. Darker bears? Yeah, I see them as pretty dark.
