Facts about Polar Bears

  • Habitat is within the Arctic circle.
  • When hungry, a Polar bear eats nearly anything – also you!
  • This bear walks long distances for food.
  • Their skin is black.
  • Their fur seems white, and surprisingly it is transparent.
  • Largest carnivore on land.

Sea ice undoubtedly melts as a result of climate change. As the top hunters of the Arctic, sadly, their habitat is in decline. Therefore, also the number of Polar bears. These impressive animals are on the IUCN list, as many wildlife as a threatened animal.
