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.
Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time at sea. Their scientific name means  maritime bear, and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.The polar bear is classified as a vulnerable species, with eight of the nineteen polar bear subpopulations in decline.For decades, large scale hunting raised international concern for the future of the species but populations rebounded after controls and quotas began to take effect.t is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi). A boar (adult male) weighs around 350â700 kg (772â1,543 lb), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size.
