in the Northern Arctic ice sheets began to
melt due to global warming, so polar bear
populations are likely to be scarce.

Description
Polar bears have long body and fat. They move by crawling. They have very
large feet to distribute load when walking on snow or thin ice. They have a keen sense
of smell; they can smell things that are buried in snow. Their canines are long and very
sharp, so that they can pull apart their food. They have short claws. Their claws are very
solid; these claws were most suitable for walking on ice and snow
They swim from ice floe to ice floe. They use their feet like paddles in the water
when they are swim. They can swim at an average of 6 miles per hour. They have a
thick layer of body fat that protects them from the cold air and water in their habitat.
The polar bear has a small tail and ears. They live in the north, ice cold, and therefore,
with small body parts, they reduce the risk of heat loss.
Polar bear is a big animal. Size relative to a man is 6 feet (2-m). Polar bears are
the largest of the bear family. The male is bigger than female, the male two times larger
than the female.
Polar bears are carnivores. Feed of polar bears are fish and seals. But, sometime
polar bear eat other mammals too.
Polar bears are manly looking female polar bears in the spring. They have
babies. They dig burrows in the snow and used by female polar bears to give birth her
child. The mother is very protective of her baby, its because the male polar bears
sometimes kill children in their own species.
