One thing I neglected to mention is that we may say this is only effecting animals but I know of a few human hermaphrodytes (or atleast hermaphrodyte like features) and the numbers are growing. The pollution factor is said to be the one that is most likely to be the culprit.

Thanks for the links Snoopy.
I really think it is something that has been overlooked by many until recent times and more people should be aware of it. I am glad there are some authorities that are finally looking further into this.
There must be more damaging side effects than this that we have not yet seen or been made public at least.
I think carbon emissions are the least of out problems.

Edit for personal observation: I find it odd that there has been well over 100 views, 3 stars, 1 flag and even an applause (all of which I appreciate BTW) but I find it strange there has been only 1 reply (Thanks Snoopy! ).

Thanks snoopy. Yes. They do seem curious but scared. I wonder if it is the subject or because it is not a generaly accepted or discussed topic here?
I am surprised the sheep pic didnt get any reaction.



At least it is getting read and the point is getting out there I suppose.

A very interesting point that has been brought to my attention on this subject and that is, this is not only a disturbing fact for the polar bears and alike, but is also an indication of where we are headed. As we know the population levels of frogs are a good indication of our climate and in the days of old when canaries were used to judge the toxicity of the air in mines, we should also be watching not only the decline in numbers but also the drastic changes in the wildlife for the toxicity of our air and water supplies. If the Polar bears are affected this much without nearly the amount of industry around them, just imagine what is happening to us as a species.
