Reply to comment by IvetRockbottom in Polar bears dying at a rapid rate near Canada's "Polar Bear Capital" as Arctic sea ice disappears by decorama

I think it would be more like pandas, no longer naturally occurring but they would still exist in zoos

I remember seeing that something is causing their penises to be more brittle. I’m not sure if its happening to captive and wild polar bears, its been a while since I saw it.

But if thats the case, they might be done

Pandas seem to be trying to genocide themselves. They went from eating high calorie meat to one of the least nutritious plants out there. They sleep more than cats because they get no energy from bamboo. Females are in heat a max of 3 days out of the year. and they dont live with mates or a group, so the male has to find them during those 3 days, if he even cares about having sex which often they dont seem to. AND if she chooses him, and shes picky as hell and tends to not like anyone new doesnt matter if he is more healthy, she wants to get to know them first. And then tends to have only one cub. Well tend to birth two but one almost always dies.

Its baffling pandas are still around for us to talk about. them sloths and sunfish, just seem to be begging for extinction to take them.
