If Polar Bears are endangered in the North Pole, why not put them down in Antarctica?...it isn't supposed?

Question

to melt down their for a long time.

Answer 1

The problem with this is the geographic differences between the Arctic and Andtarctica. Basically, the north doesn't have very much land (if any at all) so it's all ice. This works with the way Polar bears hunt. They hunt seals by stalking them at openings in the ice where the seals go in and out. In Antarctica there is mostly land - No openings, no seals.

Hence..the problem.

Answer 2

First off polar bears that lived in Antarctica could devastate Antarctic wildlife. endangering many other species of sea life.
Second. Sometimes the weather can be much colder in Antarctica than in the north. Making it almost to cold even for the polar bears at some times.
Third the long plane trip around the world for these animals is terrible. they have to be put on drugs to keep them relaxed which can cause them to be a danger to themselves, not knowing what they are doing, and most of these overseas plane voyages end up in losing many animal lives. in other words, many of the polar bears would die on their way to Antarctica.
Fourth this whole thing would cost millions of dollars.
Sending the all the endangered polar bears to Antarctica because of the ice melting in the north would be a terrible disaster.

Answer 3

Polar bears adapted to the cold as it warms up they will adapt again, they don't care about global weather patterns they probably want it to get warmer. P.S.polar bears would have to adapt to great white sharks swimming in the southern ocean.

Answer 4

Good thinking but that would be an enormous job and cost a lot of money. I'm not sure what they would have to eat down there but I might be a little concerned for any people who found themselves being confronted by one.

Answer 5

The idea is to preserve the natural environment of an animal. You create new ecological disasters when you introduce a new species to a non-native area.

Answer 6

That is a good idea. There are 25,000 polar bear presently. In 1966 we only had 10,000. They must like this warmer weather. They are multiplying too fast at the antaric.

Answer 7

Because of Global warming, i think that antartica's ice in some places wouldn't hold the polar bears.....i'm just guessing.....

Answer 8

Well Antartica has no trees and no caves. All there is, is SNOW, and Skies. So they would have no food to eat unless they eat each other which is bad.

Answer 9

Go ahead and grab one and take it down there. Let me know how that worked out!

Answer 10

Great idea. You round them up.
