what will happen to the polar bears and penguins if the water level gets to high?

Polar bears and penguins spend much of their life on the sea ice - a thin layer of frozen sea water that floats on top of the ocean. As sea levels rise, the ice moves up with the water. This means that rising sea levels aren't a big problem for polar bears and penguins. But, climate change is still a big problem for these animals, because the ice they rely on is melting.
