About this episode
In this episode of The Fur Real Podcast , we head to the Arctic with Dr. Steven Amstrup of Polar Bears International , the world’s leading organization dedicated to the conservation of polar bears and their sea ice habitat. With climate change melting the Arctic at an alarming rate, polar bears are being pushed to their limits—swimming longer distances, struggling to hunt, and adapting to a rapidly changing environment. Dr. Amstrup shares incredible facts about these powerful animals: their fur is actually translucent , their skin is black , and they’re capable of swimming for days across icy waters. But beyond the trivia, this episode dives deep into the urgent challenges they face and what scientists and conservationists are doing to help. Whether you're a polar bear superfan or just polar bear-curious, this episode delivers eye-opening science, expert insights, and a powerful message of hope. www.furrealpodcast.com www.polarbearsinternational.org fb @The Fur Real Podcast fb @Mark A Kyle fb @polarbearsinternational Ig @thefurrealpodcast Ig @markakyle ig@polarbeardsinternational tik tok @The Fur Real Podcast tik tok @polarbearsinternational You Tube @ The Fur Real Podcast You Tube @Polarbearsinternational.org Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!
