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.
A powerful and patient predator on land, sea, and ice, the polar bear is the worldâs largest carnivore and a unique symbol of the Arctic. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Ursus maritimus, or the sea bear, evolved from its brown bear (Ursus arctos) ancestors to occupy an ecological niche in the frozen far north.
