 FUR
Polar bear fur is made up of a dense, insulating
underfur that is topped by guard hairs that vary
in length. The fur prevents almost all heat loss—
in fact, adult males can quickly overheat when
they run.

Size And Weight

Polar bear paws are ideal for roaming the

Arctic.Adult males normally weight 350 to more
than 600 kilograms (775 to more than 1,300
pounds). Adult females are smaller, normally
weighing 150 to 290 kilograms (330 to 650
pounds). Researchers in Canada estimated one
male bear at 800 kilograms (1,700 pounds)!
FUN FACT ABOUT POLAR
BEAR
POLAR BEARS HAVE BLACK SKIN AND
ALTHOUGH THEIR FUR APPEARS WHITE, IT IS
ACTUALLY TRANSPARENT

MALE POLAR BEARS CAN WEIGH UP TO 680 KG (1500

LB).

POLAR BEARS CAN REACH SPEEDS UP TO 40 KPH (25

MPH) ON LAND AND 10 KPH (6 MPH) IN WATER.

THE POLAR BEAR WAS THE MASCOT FOR THE 1988

WINTER OLYMPICS IN CALGARY, CANADA.
HABITAT
Polar bears are only found in the Arctic. The most
important habitats for polar bears are the edges of
pack ice where currents and wind interact, forming a
continually melting and refreezing matrix of ice
patches and leads (open spaces in the sea ice)
 Population
As of 2015, the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reports that the

Food
global population of polar bears is 22,000 to
31,000, and the current population trend is
unknown.
Polar bears feed mainly on ringed and bearded
seals. Depending upon their location, they also eat
harp and hooded seals and scavenge on carcasses
of beluga whales, walruses, narwhals, and
bowhead whales.
