White and Wet

Rest Stop
Walruses need sturdy ice where they can stop and rest. That's especially important for pups, who take a while to become strong swimmers.

Waiting and Watching
Polar bears use ice to catch ringed seals, their favorite meal. They stand on the ice and wait for seals to pop up for a breath. Without the ice to hunt on, the bears may have to find a new favorite food.
