\u00a0<\/p>\n

1)There are 2 types of worms:\u00a0\u00a0 worms that eat at night (nocturnal) and worms that eat during the day (diurnal).\u00a0 The birds eat during the day and seem to be eating ONLY the diurnal worms.\u00a0 The nocturnal worms are in their burrows during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce, they have about 500 babies but only 100 of these 500 ever become old enough to reproduce.<\/p>\n

    2) There are 3 types of polar bears: ones with thick coats, ones with thin coats and ones with medium coats.\u00a0 It is fall, soon to be winter.\u00a0 The temperatures are dropping rapidly and the bears must be kept warm, or they will freeze to death.\u00a0 Many of the bears have had ~2 cubs each but due to the extreme temperatures, many mothers only have one cub left.<\/p>\n
