Ursa maritimus is the scientific name of the polar bear. Ursa, the genus name, means "bear" and maritimus, the species name, means "of or pertaining to the sea." When combined that means "bear of the sea," probably referring to the fact that they live primarily on seal meat and spend much of the year living on sea ice.
An easy way to remember this is to think of the constellation Ursa Minor or Major

Because polar bears do not live where penguins do and vice versa. Penguins don't know what a polar bear is or looks like, and a polar bear doesn't know what penguins are nor look like.

What would win in a fight a polar bear or a hippopotamus?
The polar bear would try to claw and bite the hippo down, but the hippo has thick skin and muscles for protection against teeth and claws. The hippo also has a larger jaw size and a larger size that could defeat the polar bear. If a polar bear fought with a hippo, the hippo would most likely get the polar bear at the end.
