I feel the need to get this off my chest: I hate lizards. I hate reptiles...of all sorts. Iguanas are not cool. Nor are any of its relatives. The thought of one being near me sends my mind, body, and spirit into a small (gigantic) state of panic where my chest tightens and subsequently my airways shrink and all I can think about is their gross, textured tail touching my arm.
Why can't global warming adversely affect the fate of all reptiles and not the polar bears? And don't you think that polar bears could just be relocated to select Northern Canadian areas (it's so cold anywhere in Canada, really) and learn to hunt different animals other than seals? Are seals SUCH easy prey (with their fat bellies just plopping around on the ice) that the polar bear is incapable of hunting and eating anything mobile? I mean, meat is meat, so could they somehow learn (or at least try) to catch an elk, or perhaps an iguana? Maybe they can't run fast enough to chase prey, which furthers my point for them to eat iguana meat. I really have no idea, but I think iguanas are slow moving.
Anyway, polar bears, just know that I'm trying. But apparently I can't change an animal's instictive culture overnight. Damn. Back to the drawing board...
In the meantime, let's make ourselves more aware of what the global warming/polar bear situation is really about and perhaps make a change?
