Something similar is being witnessed with the polar bear population of Alaska that is rapidly dwindling. It is reported that between 2001 to 2010, there was a 40 per cent drop in Alaska’s polar bear population. This drop is being credited to polar bears’ migration to Russia from Alaska due to rising temperatures in Alaska. — dobbs (@dobbs_ddobell1) January 2, 2022This is not the first time polar bears were seen migrating to colder places. In 2019, around 60 polar bears were spotted in one of Russia’s remotest regions of Ryrkaypiy.
