The Polar Bear
The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it
lives insides the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the
South Pole.
The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there is only
snow, ice and water. There is not any land. People cannot see the polar bear in the
snow very well because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because
the weather is cold north of the Arctic Circle.
This bear is three meters long, and it weighs 450 kilos (kilograms). It can
stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs like
arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It can swim 120 kilometers out into the
water. It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid.
Some people want to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The
government of the United States and Russia say that no one can kill polar bears
now. They do not want all of these beautiful animals to die.
