How might changes in habitat affect one of the animal familes from Earth?
Polar Bear - unable to move across ice to hunt food /lose main food source (seals need ice to reproduce) - no place to hibernate and make birth dens
African Elephant - decrease in rainfall causes drought which dries up water sources - elephants will have to migrate for food and water
Humpback Whale - warm sea water causes a decline in krill which is what the humpback whale eats - whales will have to migrate for food
