🐻❄️ Polar Bear Sea Ice Lab (2D): Fasting, Fat Reserves & Warming Trend
2D polar-bear energetics lab: real fat-reserve bioenergetics tied to a seasonal sea-ice cycle — bears gain fat hunting seals from ice, then fast through the ice-free season, with an adjustable warming trend that lengthens the fast and drives body condition down.
This 2D companion turns the 3D scene into a bioenergetics lab: a side panel exposes the baseline ice-free season length, a warming trend that lengthens it year over year, relative seal density and starting body condition, and the canvas integrates real day-by-day fat-reserve dynamics — hunting gain scaled by ice concentration and satiation while ice is present, steady fasting loss once it is gone — over a 20-year span so the direct chain from shrinking sea ice to fasting duration to body-condition decline is visible as numbers and a trajectory, not just an animated scene.
2D polar-bear energetics lab with a real fat-reserve integration tied to a seasonal sea-ice cycle: hunting gain scaled by ice concentration and satiation, fasting loss during the ice-free season, and an adjustable warming trend that lengthens the fast across a simulated 20-year span.
