Drones show polar bears forced to eat eggs as climate change shrinks Arctic hunting grounds

Using droned, researchers in Canada tracked the feeding pattern of polar bears. It is well known that climate change has brought polar bears to the verge of starvation.

Hungry polar bears are increasingly foraging on seabird eggs as climate change shrinks their Arctic hunting grounds, but research published Wednesday on the phenomenon highlights the struggle these apex predators have to adapt to their rapidly changing environment. The climate change threat to polar bears is well known, driven by the extraordinary pace of change in the Arctic, which is warming twice as fast as the planet as a whole. This is already leading to dwindling sea ice, cutting short the time they have to hunt seals, their preferred prey.
