Polar bears lose sea ice due to climate change, forcing them to fast longer and lose body fat, leading to emaciation. The photos sparked debate over narrative and accuracy, with experts urging caution ...

A new study from the University of East Anglia suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and scientists believe it's due to the impacts of climate change.

A genetic analysis of polar bears in southeast Greenland found that genes related to heat-stress, aging, and metabolism are ...

A polar bear feasts on a seal it captured in the receding tide along the Hudson Bay Lowlands. Ryan St. John peers through his binoculars on the shore of Hudson Bay near his home community of Arviat, ...

Researchers say some populations are activating “jumping genes” to survive rising temperatures. It’s both hopeful and ...

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. The species is ...

The cubs are about 10- to 11-months-old and are known as Cubs of the Year (COYS). According to Polar Bears International, both cubs appear to be healthy. They will generally stay with their mother for ...

Scientists are using new technology to prevent human-polar bear interactions. As scientists anticipate another unintended consequence of climate change that could pose a threat to both humans and ...

Researchers found up to 10% less genetic diversity in the last 20 years. The outlook for the survival of polar bears appears precarious as scientists learn more about factors induced by climate change ...
