Polar Bears Adapting to Climate Change

Scientists have found that polar bears are changing to live in warmer places. They looked at bears in Greenland and saw that some of their genes are working differently. These changes help the bears deal with heat and find food when there's less ice.
The scientists think this is good news. It means polar bears might be able to survive as the world gets warmer. But they say we still need to help stop the Earth from getting too hot.
Polar bears usually eat seals, which they catch on ice. But now, with less ice, they might have to eat more plants. The scientists saw that the bears' bodies are slowly getting better at using plant food.
