my summative journal writing

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM YOUR READING AND RESEARCH?
I have learnt that polar bears have black skin under their furs to store heat from the sunlight. Their furs are hollow. Their fur colour is yellow because of the reflection of the sunlight or the oil stained because of oil spilling in the sea. They feeds on seals. They are hunted for their paws and furs for Chinese medicines and coats from their furs. During short summers, they use their stored fats to keep them warm. They spend most of their time roaming on ice, finding mates, hunting for their own food and denning for them to keep their self warm. Their webbed paws helps them in their swimming. Their population have decreased over the years, they are almost going to be extinct if hunting, global warming and greenhouse effects continues.They are also harasses by the photographers and tourist that wants to get closer to them.

HOW HAVE YOUR PERSPECTIVES CHANGE DURING THE COURSE OF YOUR READING AND RESEARCH?
Before reading all this article, i did not have much knowledge about the hunters but after reading it, i gained much knowledge about them. I Thought that they can anyhow anywhere build an igloo but i was wrong, they need to be very careful on where they build it because of the current in the sea. If they build on the wrong place, the whole sea ice and the igloo will crack which is due to the current flow of the sea water. I was only aware that the polar bear hunt for food and was not aware that they
roam on the floating ice and they find their mates. I was also not aware that they are annoyed about the photographers and tourists until i read the article.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE CURRENT SITUATION?(YOUR FEELINGS/ OPINION/ COMMENTS)
I feel that the hunters are very cruel. I feel that we should all take a part in helping the polar bears from being extinct by reducing, reusing and recycling. Reduce the number of trees being cutted down, the amount of things being burnt because all these will produce carbon dioxide.
