Polar bears are the largest in existence.

Contrary to what we commonly know, its skin is all black, and its body hair is colorless and transparent, but it looks white in the sun.

It mainly relies on the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean for its hunting, and its main food is seals, and sometimes it also eats large prey such as walruses, beluga whales, and narwhals.

In recent years, the living environment of polar bears has become more and more harsh.

Their numbers are rapidly decreasing due to global warming, excessive greenhouse gas emissions, and melting glaciers, which are causing them to have insufficient hard sea ice to burrow and hunt, not enough food, and high temperatures that make it difficult to adapt.

There are reports that polar bears are likely to become extinct by 2100 as global warming intensifies.

[Ding!] Attention all gamers, please note that you have received an urgent game mission - Save the Polar Bear, which is five stars for the difficulty of the mission and five stars for the importance of the mission, please read the game description carefully!

Again, this game is not a drill, and the rescue of polar bears is imminent.

When polar bears disappear from this world, it means that Arctic glaciers will cease to exist, global sea levels will rise, and many coastal cities will be submerged. The global climate has further deteriorated, with frequent droughts and water shortages in inland areas, dry up rivers and lakes, frequent floods in coastal areas, and frequent heavy rain and debris flows......

And that's perhaps not the saddest of all.

Huge changes in the environment often affect many conflicts of interest between countries, resulting in constant disputes and gunsmoke.

The butterfly effect is often so powerful that it exceeds expectations.

Saving polar bears is also saving humanity itself.

This time it's a mission that requires all gamers to work together to save the polar bears, and in the final analysis, it's about cleaning up the environment, restoring the Arctic ecology, and stabilizing the global climate.

Due to some uncontrollable factors, there are still 15 months left before the polar bear completely disappears from the planet.

I believe you prefer to think of it as 454 days before the end of the world.

Whether the game mission to save the polar bear can succeed directly determines the fate of mankind in the future.

As the game progresses to this point, more and more people have made changes, and the appearance of the entire planet has indeed improved to a certain extent.

The mission to save the polar bear will officially start at 00:00 this night, so please get ready. ]

This time, the emergency mission prompt sound, just like the original game fell from the sky, and every gamer received the mission information.

This is the first time that Tang Qinqin and they have received an "urgent task".

"What's the situation? Doesn't it mean that there are at least 80 years left? Why is it so urgent all of a sudden? ”

"If the polar bear falls, we humans are about to follow in its footsteps. They can't be allowed to disappear from this world! ”

"This only shows that the situation of polar bears is far worse than we thought, and we must take it seriously and take immediate action."

The players all looked serious and expressed their opinions on the matter.

……

At this time, on one of the few remaining ice sheets in the Arctic Ocean, a scrawny adult female polar bear is out with her newborn cubs to forage for food.

Polar bears are raised by single parents, and after they have completed the bear's life, the two adult bears will go their separate ways, and they will never see each other again in this life.

The female polar bear then forages for food and eats on her own, stores enough nutrients, and gives birth to cubs during hibernation to begin her arduous life with a baby.

It is said that when the cubs are born, the mother bear is still in a sleepy state of hibernation, but when she hears the cry of the cub, the mother's body is instinctively "stimulated" to produce milk and nurse the cubs.

Mother bears feed them almost exclusively on milk for nearly three months until spring arrives, the best hunting season for polar bears.

Before the Arctic glaciers begin to melt between spring and late spring, polar bears can flex their muscles, burrowing in the ice and ambushing them in the right places to hunt for delicious seals.

After the end of spring, the best hunting season is almost over, and it is not until around July that the hunting time for polar bears is almost over.

At this time, it is the beginning of July.

July in the Northern Hemisphere is the height of summer.

Most of the ice in the Arctic Ocean began to break up, drift away, and merge into the vast expanse of the sea.

This mother bear and her two children have survived this spring with great difficulty.

Taking a baby and traveling long distances to forage for food has been consuming the little energy left in its body, not to mention that as the weather warms day by day, the ice sheet melts little by little and becomes thinner, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the ice cave with one foot in the air, and then spend half a day struggling to climb to the relatively solid and hard ice to breathe.

The thinner ice and the increase in ice caves create more escape opportunities for the ashore seals to breathe, but set up a "hunting game" for hungry polar bears with a lower success rate.

Once a seal jumps into the sea, it becomes so agile that it disappears without a trace in the blink of an eye, making it difficult for polar bears to catch them.

Without intact ice, it is almost impossible for polar bears to approach seals.

In order to survive, polar bears have had to change their hunting strategies, and they have learned to swim quietly in the ice floes to slowly approach the seals that have come ashore to breathe, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

If you fail, polar bears will starve to death, but the reality is that, according to statistics, only one out of 20 polar bear hunts is successful at this time of year.

More often than not, they have to travel long distances in search of food, struggling to swim in the waters without ice covers; Finally found the prey, but had to watch it escape, and then plan the next attempt, in order to survive.

As summer temperatures rise, they expend more and more energy to hunt.

At this time, the mother bear has been so thin that compared with before, it is like two "bears".

Now it is in dire need of a seal for energy, and a seal has about 1 million calories from fat alone, which can sustain it for about a week.

It still has two cubs to raise, and it doesn't want to fall.

With it, male polar bears, wolves, etc. dare to come forward to try and provoke, if it is gone, there is no "protector", the fate of the two cubs is obvious.

It dragged its tired body with mechanical steps, its godless eyes trying to look around.

A baby seal is fine, a baby seal, it can hold on, and the children still have hope.

But, why did the ice under its feet shatter again, why was it white in front of it, its ears were buzzing, did it fall into the ice cave again? Isn't the ice cave cold? What about its children, where are they?

Before she collapsed into a coma, the last thing the mother bear realized was to worry about her cub......
