impossible. This creates an empty niche in the northern ecosystem. (Williams et. al. 2011) While making it difficult for the polar bears to hunt, shrinking ice caps make it easier for orcas to move further north and reach new food sources such as narwhal and seals. The implications of this new shift of the major predator in the region could be catastrophic. (Williams et. al. 2011) Food scarcity has always been a challenge for polar bears but now the challenge is even greater due to increased competition
