Polar Bears

If you wish to "adopt" a baby polar bear go to your local zoo or the national zoo and make a donation to the zoo. Otherwise you can not have or adopt a baby polar bear. They are one of largest meanest bears and do not stay a baby for very long. Buy a stuffed one from Build A Bear.

polar bears are diurnal, because they sleep and rest at night and stay awake in the day to catch there prey or look after there cubs but they do rest at night just like our humans....,

They live in the Arctic, if you haven't noticed yet, it is very cold up there and like all other living organisms if their body temperature dips below a certain level their fluids freeze and they die,

Well, polar bears eat seals. If all polar bears got killed and disappeared, then the seal population would rapidly increase, and then all the food for the seals would decrease because there's so many seals. So to sum up, having polar bears killed off would greatly decrease seals food, then the seals food would disappear, and then the seals would starve to death themselves. It's kind of scary isn't it...

an example of this would be like... the relationship between a carribou and the vegetation. The carribou eats the vegetation, and the carribou's waste provides fertilizer for the plants.

They do not like to eat dirt.

Polar Bears eat meat. They eat seals, and penguins, and walruses, and basically anything they can get. Except for maybe leopard seals because those things are crazy but I still bet a polar bear could one on. They live on land because they don't have gills or wings. Where else would they live? Polar Bears have black skin to attract heat from the sun and tons of fur to keep them warm. They can swim, not the greatest but well enough to go after penguins or seals. Polar Bears normally live in caves but they also have crazy sharp claws and can dig little homes for them selves and their babies.

A female's neck is smaller than her head, which is the same as people. A male's have such strong and big necks, that their neck is larger than their head.

Imagine that your finger is a polar bear's head and neck. The tip of your finger is the bear's head.

Unless scientists have validated that if and when Antarctica melts, the rise in the ocean levels will flood all of the earth, then no all of the animals will not die. There are many species that naturally will move to higher ground as a matter of their natural routine, others will adapt and instinct may drive them to higher ground.

Animals also include fish, so unless the ice contains harmful toxins that can kill fish, fish and water mammals will survive.

Yes. The Arctic sea ice, their habitat, the only place they can hunt seals, is decreasing every year from global warming. Bears are weakened from hunger and female bears are having fewer cubs.

Depends on the plant; some plants easily live in sub-zero temperatures, others need temperatures to be quite high (e.g. over 70 F).

polar bears love to have orgasms,it reduses there natural lifestyle.

Polar bears, native to the Artic Circle, were once believed to have evolved from female brown bears at the height of the ice age. Recent studies, however, insist they are a genetically differentiated species. As an ice-dependent mammal, distinct from brown bears, surviving the shrinking Arctic ice along with other threats caused by people, such as loss of habitat, conflict with people and chemical spills, may push the species to the verge of extinction.

The ice is melting due to pollution and global warming therefore killing animals that polar bears eat and leaving nothing but small ice bergs.

A polar bears nose is used to smell fish and other food in thesnow.

No. There are three types of mammals: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. Monotremes lay eggs, marsupials give live birth to very undeveloped young, which must attach to the nipple (possibly in a pouch), and placental mammals give live birth to much more developed young. A polar bear is a placental mammal.

The polar regions are the areas of the Earth that surround the poles. The North Pole and South Pole being the centers, these regions are dominated by the polar ice caps, resting respectively on the Arctic Ocean and the continent of Antarctica.

Kangaroos are uniquely adapted for survival in Australia, a country that suffers frequent droughts.

* The mother kangaroo spends most of her adult life pregnant, but in drought times, she has the ability to indefinitely "freeze" the development of the young embryo until food sources are replenished.

* The mother can also produce two different types of milk to suit the needs of two different aged joeys. She might have a more mature joey that spends less time in the pouch, while a very young embryo has attached itself to a teat. Each joey has different milk requirements - which the mother is able to supply.

* Kangaroos are able to travel long distances at a high speed, expending very little energy. They are very energy-efficient, and this is linked directly to the physical action of bringing their hind legs up with each hop. Every hop literally refills the lungs.

* Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding.

* Kangaroos are strong swimmers. Many parts of Australia are subject to seasonal flooding rains, but the kangaroo's body shape does not prohibit it from swimming. In fact, kangaroos have been observed swimming to offshore islands off the southern coast. This is the only time the kangaroo's hind legs move independently of each other.

* Kangaroos are more active in the cooler hours of the early morning and the late afternoon. During the heat of the day they are more sedentary, lying around quietly and chewing their cud.

* The teeth of the kangaroo are continuously being worn down by the tough grasses they eat. Instead of continuously growing, once a kangaroo's front teeth are worn down completely, they fall out, and the back teeth move forwards to take the place of the worn front teeth. Kangaroos have four such pairs of chewing teeth.

* Kangaroos have the ability to hear very well: kangaroos can twitch their ears independently around to determine the direction of specific sounds, much as a cat does

* They have long, strong tails for balancing.

These adaptations are the same for most species of kangaroos, including Red Kangaroos, Grey Kangaroos, wallaroos and wallabies.

It is presently illegal to trade in live animals, skins or body parts ( for example whale"s teeth, Ivory from whales or elephants- unless there is obvious antique value and the substance was secured before the various bans. This is called Pre-Ban Ivory About 50 years ago we had a parlor organ that was probably late nineteenth century, it was made by Mason and Hamlin. the instument had one keyboard and ivory keys. the air-pumps needed replacement. to make a long story short, this was clearly Pre-ban ivory on the keyboard. we donated the instrument to a church music school when we had to move! This was l964.

No, polar bears have lungs just like humans and other mammals. Polar bears can hold their breath for several minutes at a time, but they have to come up to breath frequently.

Polar bears require huge amounts of energy to maintain their body temperature in the cold, and they must build up fat reserves to do that. Seal blubber is optimal food source for them because their blubber is so rich in calories and fat.

With the exception of pregnant females, polar bears do not hibernate. Instead adult male polar bears and non-pregnant females remain active throughout the year. They nap during the day and sleep 7 to 8 hours a night.
