In recent years, as global temperatures have been steadily rising, the survival of polar animals has become a hot topic.

As a soon-to-be geology graduate, Qiao Qixi was fortunate enough to join his mentor on a scientific expedition to the Arctic.

While Qiao Qixi was trying to adapt to his new scientific life in the Arctic, an unexpected accident abruptly interrupted his research career.

When he woke up, Qiao Qixi found himself in a wildlife rescue center surrounded by European staff speaking English. To his shock, he had become a polar bear, now the subject of care and observation.

"......"

Qiao Qixi was bewildered, thinking that the turn of events was absurdly outrageous.

At first, he thought it was just a dream and that he would wake up back in his original world. However, after two days, he was still a bear, so he accepted the fact that he might never become human again.

Well, even as a polar bear, one must have goals in life and not lose the positive spirit just because of turning into an animal.

After coming to terms with his situation, Qiao Qixi began to focus on his surroundings.

Through careful observation, he learned that he was at a wildlife rescue center on Greenland in the Arctic and that he was a young polar bear, less than two years old, rescued after being injured. Strictly speaking, he was still a cub that should not be living independently without his mother.

When humans found 'him,' there were no other polar bears around, indicating that this young male polar bear had already been separated from his mother.

Polar bears that leave their mothers too early have limited survival skills in the wild, especially as the polar environment becomes increasingly harsh, resulting in a low survival rate for young polar bears.

Fortunately, in recent years, polar animal protection agencies have been improving, striving to protect newborn polar bears each year.

Although human intervention in the natural ecosystem of wild animals is not ideal, with only about 20,000 polar bears left in the world, people cannot just stand by and watch them go extinct.

As the world's largest land carnivore, this young, tall polar bear with snow-white fur became surprisingly popular at the rescue center, and people even named him Alexander.

Qiao Qixi: "......"

He had to admit that the name was incredibly common.

Qiao Qixi's proficiency in English, which enabled him to participate in scientific research in the Arctic, allowed him to glean a lot of information from the staff's conversations.

For instance, another injured polar bear had been rescued recently and was in the ICU in critical condition.

It made one wonder just how high the mortality rate of polar bears was.

In fact, Qiao Qixi knew all too well that the survival environment for polar bears was indeed grim.

Once he recovered, he would have to return to the snowy wilderness to fend for himself, just the thought of it made him feel cold.

For a moment, the discouraged Qiao Qixi thought that staying in the rescue center for the rest of his life wouldn't be so bad.

But that was impossible.

Once he recovered, the rescue center would release him back into the wild, most likely with a GPS tracker for monitoring his future life.

Polar bears are not afraid of the cold but the heat, so the staff arranged a semi-open shelter for Alexander, or rather Qiao Qixi.
