Animals are affected

Animals are essential to maintain the circle of life and the food chain but they are also affected by global warming. It is not just animals but insects, reptiles and sea creatures are affected as well. As global warming getting worse, the animal population is reducing as well because some animals lost their habitat like polar bears. The global warming is melting the glaciers, pushing the polar bears into extinction. The polar bear became the first animal to be added to the Endangered Species Act list of threatened species because of global warming.

Many animals and birds, including penguins or flamingos, they travel long distances to warmer climates for breeding purposes. They have forced to alter their routes for travelling or do not migrate at all because of global warming. The weather is too unstable. Because of failing migrate; they have to compete with other migratory or resident animals for food and shelter. The same thing happened to aquatic mammals that breeding in warm waters. Most of animals' migrating is depending on seasons and seasonal foods but because of global warming, food is not enough for all animals and many animals have died because of climate change and shortage of food. Therefore their food chain is ruined and some animals became extinction.
