Are Polar Bears important to science or conservation and how? I know there considered endangered, but I%26#039;m looking for something else

Best Answer

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are the world%26#039;s largest land carnivore. They keep their prey in control, and are well respected among many peoples. They are also elusive, which makes them all the more fascinating. Who knows? Maybe they have medicinal properties?

• yes because they are the only predator to the other animals in their habitat, polar bears going extinct would lead to their prey overpopulating and destabilizing the environment they live in
• No, we can always ship plenty of grizzly bears to replace them
