(PHYSorg.com Biology)

Not all polar bears are in the same dire situation due to retreating sea ice, at least not right now. Off the western coast of Alaska, the Chukchi Sea is rich in marine life, but the number of polar bears in the area had never been counted. The first formal study of this population suggests that it`s been healthy and relatively abundant in recent years, numbering about 3,000 animals.
