Climate change has led polar bears to seek a change in their diet. Well, this is what scientists have revealed after comparing poops of polar bears collected in modern times against analysis conducted between 1968 and 1969.
The findings led researchers to reach at the conclusion that polar bears are eating more of snow geese, eggs and caribou available on the land than seals.

When the previous study was conducted, climate change had not affected the habitat of polar bears. But now, the sea ice has been melting, thus bringing the polar bears ashore much faster, which may be leading them to begin overlapping the nesting periods of snow geese.

As a result, bears and geese eggs are being put in the same place at the same time, making polar bears to get easy access to these for feed.

The findings have good implications for polar bears too, as researchers have found that polar bears will be able to survive the climate change by changing their diet and adapting to a new climate. Favorite food of bears is seal but when it is not available, polar bears can switch to other available options.

Linda Gormezano, co-author of the study, said, "What our results suggest is that polar bears have flexible foraging strategies".

But, it has to be noted that polar bears would not be able to completely survive climate change by merely changing their diet. There is no evidence to prove that relying on alternate foods will help a large population of polar bears to derive many benefits.
