Animal description

About the Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus)

The majestic Polar Bear roam the Arctic ice, and it’s surrounding coastal waters. They are surprisingly strong, agile swimmers with large, slightly webbed front paws to paddle and navigate the frigid waters. Polar Bears depend on a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat. Their unmistakable white coat provides camouflage around the surrounding snow, yet under their fur, they have black skin, which aids them in soaking up the sun’s warm rays. Polar bear mothers typically have twins, who they raise until around the age of two, or until they can hunt for fish and seal on their own.
