Jessica Hodge+FollowPolar Bears Are Hacking Their Own DNA?!Polar bears in southern Greenland are literally rewriting their DNA to survive the heat—using 'jumping genes'! Scientists found these bears are rapidly mutating to handle melting sea ice and rising temps. It’s like evolution on fast-forward, but researchers warn it’s not a free pass—climate change is still a huge threat. Wild how nature fights back, right? #Science #PolarBears #ClimateChange11Share
James Brady+FollowPolar Bears Are Rewriting Their DNA?!Get this: scientists just found a group of polar bears in Greenland literally changing their own DNA to deal with warmer temps. They’re using “jumping genes” to adapt, which sounds cool, but it’s actually a sign they’re desperate to survive as the ice melts. These bears might hold the secret to surviving climate change, but experts warn it’s not a get-out-of-extinction-free card. We still need to act on climate change, or these guys are in serious trouble. #Science #PolarBears #ClimateChange302Share
