"Miss Kurumi...do you think there are twenty to twentyfive thousand Polar Bears in the world? Or is that something you read?"



"That is quite a low number. Hopefully it wont drop to that." So sad.



Maya nodded sadly. "Indeed. Makes you a little anxious to really find out how many."



"I don't know, Miss Skylar. I wouldn't want to be in a position to choose." She left it at that. Moving on, "Not that many, no."



Wait.

What?

"I think there are more than three, Mister Blunt." She...wasn't sure what the boy was talking about next. Uhm. "No, Mister Blunt, these animals don't live on the sun." Squint. "They live in the Arctic Circle. North Pole. Cold places." Heh.



And again. "Is this what you think? Disregarding what you read in a book - do you believe there are as many as that?"



One more of those pecks and she'd make Salander walk with Groundskeeper Stryker, and Lexi with Professor Magnus.

He. He. He.

"Yes. You assume correctly."



See? Honesty. Like some other students. Hehe. "That is a higher number than Miss Frost guessed...but I think there are a couple more than that." She smiled a little at the young girl before focusing on the next student.



Ten? Oh, horrible thought. "I think there more than that," or, "Hopefully there are more."



She thought? "Perhaps." Simple nodding to her answer. "That is a nice high number, but not enough."



"Yes, indeed they do, Mister Rhodes." And the count? "Could be."


Allright. "Thankyou for your answers. Those were some interesting guesses. There was no right or wrong answer here, I just wanted to know what you thought."


"But, as some of you already mentioned..." Even though she hadn't asked about it. Hehe, picky Maya. "As the world changes, so does the habitat of Polar Bears - and many other creature's home. The impact we have on the world impacts their world."

Maya swallowed as she walked over to stand besides another skeleton. This time, of the Saber-toothed cat. "Pick a number between one to five thousand. How many do you think still run around the world?"



OOC: Bed time for me :>
See ya when I log back on.
