Penguins

HABITAT:
 Penguins generally live on islands and
remote continental regions free from land
predators
 Most nests are lined with plants, stones, or
mud
 Some penguins live in
caves or along cliffs.
Penguins

Penguins are starting to desert parts
of Antarctica because the icy waters
are getting too hot
 Penguins main food source, which is
krill, is quickly depleting because of
Global Warming
Seals
• HABITAT:
• Most live in the Arctic and Antarctic
• They have a layer of thick fat that is
called blubber to survive the cold waters
• Blubber can store energy when there
isn’t enough food
• They like deep salt water because it will
help them survive
• They also live on islands and rocky
shores, in cracks on the ice and in and
some in warm climates
Seals
Their habitat is slowly depleting
Seals breeding habitats are
slowing, and they’re having to
move farther inland because the
ice shelf is breaking
Polar Bears
Habitat
Found in cold ocean waters or on ice
adrift
Found all over the Arctic regions
Their main habitat is pack ice
Seals are their main food source
Polar Bears
Polar bears depend on sea
ice as a platform so they
can hunt seals
Global warming is now the
biggest threat to polar
bears
It is destroying all of the
ice that they need to
survive on
Research has found that
the cubs are not surviving
as well
Researchers found adult
polar bears didn’t weigh as
much
How Global Warming
affects those animals
• Global warming is real, and it is
happening more quickly in
Antarctica and the North Pole than
anywhere else
• If Global Warming takes off another
Ice Shelf and it melts, the sea level
would rise extremely, leaving the
animals without any habitats
• Polar Animals and Global Warming
