most powerful carnivore on land, which is
predominantly found throughout the Arctic
region. It has white, smooth fur with a long neck,
relatively small head and rounded ears. One of the
most intriguing things about polar bears is that
they are solitary animals with hibernating
behavior. They fast and take a deep sleep with
the avoidance of calorie and calcium loss during
winter
to uncover new areas. Sadly, this magni cent
species is categorized as a vulnerable species,
which is pushed to the brink of disappearance
due to global warming and overhunting. Illegal
poachers have hunted it down for hide and
bones.

The polar bear has played a pivotal role in the

balance of biodiversity for millennia. It has no
natural predators and helps to control the
population of sea seals, its primary prey.

lands. It gives Eskimo explorers bravery and will
