For polar bears, home is on the Arctic sea ice. The Arctic is warming four times as fast as the rest of the planet, causing the sea ice to melt. In several regions around the Arctic, this is reducing the time polar bears have to hunt seals, increasing their fasting period and forcing them to rely on their fat stores for longer periods. If the Arctic continues to warm at the current rates, we will see fewer polar bears across the Arctic, making them more vulnerable to extinction.

Yesterday was Arctic Sea Ice Day. The Zoo is proud to partner with Polar Bears International to draw attention to sea ice loss in the Arctic and encourages our friends to show their support for polar bears and their home. For more information, please visit https://polarbearsinternational.org/

The pride is uniting! If you visited the Zoo today, you may have seen our African lions, Hondo, Scarlett, and Abana, hanging out together. Their introductions behind-the-scenes have gone well, and their outdoor interactions will occur more often as they get acquainted.
