Today, May 16th, is Endangered Species Day. Endangered Species Day takes place on the third Friday of May each year.
This week, polar bears were officially listed as a threatened species. While the population of polar bears isn't dwindling at the moment, scientists have acknowledged that the polar bear's habitat is: namely, polar ice caps.
And while I normally wouldn't recommend a children's book on a teen blog, I'm going to anyway: Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World is just about the cutest book I've ever seen.

No,polar bears are not extinct. There are some in the wild, but to be honest, I think they will be within 20 years.In the wild,I mean.
