Increased risk of white bears attacking people

A recent study by Russian scientists said that the warming effect of the earth will increase the likelihood of polar white bears attacking people.

White bears are mammals and feed from seals. Besides, their abundant source of food is birds, crustaceans or any kind of seafood they catch.

White bears are also more likely to attack humans than their relatives in forests. The goal of polar bears is often found in the camps of the expedition or headquarters of the weather forecast centers.

Professor Oleg Anisimov has warned about global climate change that seriously affects the behavior of polar bears in a seminar on April 20.

"Arctic ocean oceans are under the influence of global warming and melting. This affects the polar bear habitat," Professor Anisimov told a conference. about meteorology in Russia.

Professor Anisimov warns: "narrowing the habitat makes these bears migrate closer to coastal communities and villages and attack people." Professor Anisimov said the ice melt in the Arctic has increased from 10 to 40% in the past 30 years. He also warned that global warming will have a significant impact on the living environment and the environment in the Arctic.
