What animal is particularly affected by climate change?
Green turtles, like many animal species, are sensitive to the changes in temperature caused by global warming. And, because a baby turtle's sex depends on the temperature of the sand where their egg is laid, climate change has an impact on turtles' development, too. The warmer areas produce female turtles.
What is the most endangered animal because of climate change?
1. Polar Bear. The majestic Polar Bear (Ursus Maritimus), a flagship for climate change awareness, is facing an uncertain future due to dwindling sea ice in its Arctic habitat.
What marine animals are affected by climate change?
While marine mammals have been shown to be quite resilient to changing ocean conditions, the food that seals, sea lions, whales and dolphins depend on has been shown to change locations due to warming water.
What animals are dying from climate change?
As Arctic waters warm and currents change, the Humpback (a competitor) and the Orca (a predator) may move north and stay longer. Some Beluga populations are also threatened by hunting, pollution and habitat loss. The Bramble Cay Melomys was the first species to be declared extinct because of climate change.
How are tigers being affected by climate change?
However, rising sea levels caused by climate change threaten to wipe out these forests and the last remaining habitat of this tiger population. According to a WWF study, without mitigation efforts, projected sea-level rise—about a foot by 2070—could destroy nearly the entire Sundarbans tiger habitat.

How are arctic foxes affected by climate change?
The Arctic fox faces a multitude of threats from climate change: its sea ice and tundra habitat are shrinking, its lemming prey are becoming less abundant in some areas, and it faces increased competition and displacement by the red fox which is moving northward as temperatures warm. LOSS OF SEA ICE AND TUNDRA HABITAT.
