Elektronické učební materiály - II. stupeň Anglický jazyk POLAR BEAR The Polar Bear lives in the area around the North Pole. They are found in Greenland, Alaska, Norway, Northern Russia and Canada. Because the temperature on the planet Earth is going up (global warming), the sea ice is melting. Polar bears need the ice to hunt seals. The polar cap gets further from the land. For bears it is a very long distance to get back to land. Many bears die from starvation or by drowning.

People hunted whales a lot for their fat and bones. Since 1986 they have been protected, so you aren´t allowed to hunt them. Many whales are also injured or die after accidents with ships or when they swim into fishing nets. If the temperature of the sea water rises (climate changes), it may be more difficult to find krill. THE GREEN SEA TURTLE The Green sea turtle can grow up to 1,3 m. and weighs around 150kg. Its colour is brown or black, not green! It lives in waters around Florida. The biggest threats come from humans. People kill them for their meat, shells or their eggs. Several beaches were destroyed or polluted.
