Rare POV footage captures polar bears in their melting habitat

This incredible POV footage, captured in Canada's Hudson Bay, is helping us learn more about how climate change is affecting polar bears.
The climate in the Arctic is warming about two times faster than the rest of the planet. As a result, polar bears in the Hudson Bay are forced to spend more time on land, recently reaching 130 days of terrestrial life - a three-week increase since the 1980s.
So far, scientists have suspected that the iconic marine mammals may be able to adapt to iceless life. New research that used collar POV cameras to track the bears' behavioural changes on land, however, portrays a different reality. In this video, Mashable spoke to Dr. Anthony Pagano, a Research Wildlife Biologist and co-author of the study, about the results of their findings.
