Polar Bears That Should Be Taken Off The Threatened List Per Palin
I'm not adept at transferring photos to D.U. but if you click on the link, it has a nice photo of a Polar Bear trying to make it.

"Nine polar bears are lost in the Arctic sea and face an impossible 400-mile swim back to shore because of global warming, scientists say.

The bears plunged into the sea after the ice floe where they lived melted, and although land was only 60 miles away, their homing instinct sent them north towards the ever-shrinking polar ice cap.

Scientists are now considering sending a ship, like a modern Noah’s Ark, in a bid to rescue some of the bears.

At least nine bears were spotted in open ocean miles from their normal hunting area by US government oil survey scientists flying over Alaska’s Chukchi Sea."

3. Please send them help. I saw a polar bear video wherein the bear
was so exhausted by the time he reached the land where he planned to eat walruses that they could easily ward him off and he was going to die from starvation.

4. I hope they can pick them up as well, per the article.
"Dr Williams said animal groups were considering asking the US government to send a Coast Guard ship to rescue some of the bears."

I just hope they don't take too long to consider.
