Morning Starters: Spring 2 - Arctic
Did You Know?
The polar bear is the Arctic’s most iconic animal. With thick fur, a layer of fat, and wide paws for swimming, they are perfectly adapted to this icy wilderness. However, their future is uncertain because melting sea ice makes hunting seals harder. Without enough food, their survival is at risk. Protecting this marvellous predator means helping the entire Arctic ecosystem thrive.
