Polar Bears

Polar Bears are the most spectacular animal in the Arctic. They are also the world’s largest carnivore. Polar Bears have lots of thick, white fur to block out the cold. Polar Bears have sharp claws to catch their prey.

Polar Bears live in a beautiful, frosty place called  the Arctic Circle which has lots ice, snow and rivers.

Polar Bears have an interesting way of taking care of their cubs. Young Polar Bears may die starvation or killed by adult males. Polar Bear mothers feed milk to their young. The young cubs remain with their mothers until they grow up.

Polar Bears have the strangest adaptations. For instance, though Polar Bears are born on land, they spend most of their time at sea. I can’t even hold my breath for a minute let alone under water! A male weighs up to 410 – 720 kg.  A female weighs about half that size! That’s huge! Polar Bears have even been known to kill Beluga Whales! O.M.G!

Polar Bears eat the most incredible food. They eat Ringed Seals and also Bearded Seals plus other pinnipeds. I’m glad  Polar Bears are not endangered.

Polar Bears are magnificent  creatures.
