Rumors of a Gene Simmons Family Jewels reunion had the internet in a frenzy on Wednesday (October 7) as reports claimed that A&E confirmed a revival of the popular sitcom for 2016. UPDATE 08/10/2015: This story seems to be false.
Because of ongoing and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change, polar bears were listed as a threatened species in the US under the Endangered Species Act in May 2008. The survival and the protection of the polar bear habitat are urgent issues for WWF.
The polar bear's Latin name, Ursus maritimus, or sea bear, refers to the animal's close association with the Arctic's chilly waters and its sea ice. The polar bear is the only bear considered a marine mammal by most countries within its range (Canada classifies them as terrestrial mammals). The polar bear's life cycle is closely tied to the sea ice. Polar bears rely on the ice to travel, hunt seals, breed, and in some cases to den.
