Polar Bears

These shy animals prefer to live and hunt alone, spending much of their lives in trees. Males and females come together only during mating season. Red pandas are most active while foraging for food in the morning and evening. During the day they can be found relaxing in tree branches or fallen logs.

It is considered a Marine Mammal;

Closely related to bears like the grizzly, polar bears are actually considered to be marine mammals since they have characteristics that have adapted them for a marine lifestyle. They obtain almost all of their food from the ocean. They are streamlined for swimming, which allows for agility and endurance for long stays in the water. They even have tiny webs between their toes to help them swim. Also, polar bears have what no other bears have, a layer of blubber that keeps them warm while swimming in the cold Arctic seas.

Right whales don't have teeth or horns or claws to prevent the other males from mating with the female, so they have developed an interesting way to compete called "sperm competition."

Each male produces massive amounts of sperm in an attempt to dilute other sperm that might already be in the female. To do this, the whales need the appropriate plumbing, which explains why one southern right whale testicle weighs in at over 500 kg (1,100 lbs), making the right whale the animal with the biggest testicles. At 1% of the whale's total body weight, this size is very large even taking into account the size of the whale. Right whales can grow up to 18 m (60 feet) long and weigh up to 100 tons.

so yes they do! :3

yes, they are being hunted because their numbers are still growing.

Well, sort of. Keeping warm requires energy, and to get energy the bear needs to eat. If it doesn't get food it'll eventually die of exposure. But a healthy, well-fed bear can stand pretty much any naturally occurring cold temperature.

* Polar bears are protected with two layers of fur, as well as a 4.5 Inch layer of blubber. http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/faq/#q6 * These mammals have small, compact ears, that prevent heat loss through their ears. A contrary example to this would be camels. They have large ears, that help heat loss. http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/faq/#q6 * A small tail helps prevent heat loss, through means of their tails. http://www.polarbearsinternational.org/faq/#q6 * Polar bears have small, padded claws, to help cling on to ice.

1460 pounds and just short of 5 miles. :-D i just googled it lol

I read about their plight, and make my judgments on what I read. The polar bear, for one thing, is not an endangered species. In fact, their numbers are more or less stable. Add to that the polar ice cap is not melting, but growing, and I think the great bear will be around for some time.

polar bears live in the north pole because the north pole is cold and polar bears can trap warmth in their skin

There are no polar bears at the South Pole.

Every animal makes its home where it can survive, with food, shelter and water.

Mature bears tend to eat only the calorie-rich skin and blubber of the seal, whereas younger bears consume the protein-rich red meat. Polar bears have also been observed to eat a wide variety of other wild foods, including muskox, reindeer, birds, eggs, rodents, shellfish, crabs, and other polar bears. They may also eat plants, including berries, roots, and kelp, however none of these are a significant part of their diet.

The range of the Pike include northern North America and also from Western Europe to Siberia.

Because the sun doesn't shine in those parts of the world so the temparature isn't high

brown bears do not live in Missouri but they are well none in other places

No. No polar bears are naturally found in the Antarctic. They are only found in the Arctic. If they were found anywhere else it would be in a zoo, such as in Toronto, Canada, Germany, Denmark, England, some American zoos, and others.

Yes. Nunavut is a Canadian Territory situated just outside of and in the Arctic circle, and is one of the places where polar bears can be found in their natural habitat.

Killer whale, humpback whale, sharks, dolphin, those would be some of the top predators. But smaller animals like crustaceans and krill are just as important.

The names change, as dolphins are always being added as others die.

Yes They live in Rain Forest but not sure in South America....

Most bears live in the northern hemisphere, and evolution has made it so polar bears are adapted for weather in the North Pole, so they would not have left the area to migrate south.
cause it is to cold for them

Two of the physical adaptations that help polar bears stay warm in cold climates are the fact that their fur is translucent and their skin is black. That's right! Fur that is translucent and skin that is black!

Lets discuss this!

Polar Bear fur is not white. They have so much fur so close together per square centimeter that when you look at it it only looks white. If you actually took one of the polar bears fur and held it up to a light or under a microscope that the light will more or less shine through it.

Now why is the fur translucent? That relates to the fact that the radiant light energy of the sun need to penetrate to the black skin of the polar bear to keep the the animal warm in cold climate conditions.

The second part of the answer to the question relates to the fact that the skin of a polar bear is black. As you know on a hot day if you touch the an item that is black or dark in colour that it will be significantly warmer than a light coloured item. If you have never observed this, next time you see a dark coloured car and a light coloured car walk up to them and touch their surfaces. You will observe that the dark coloured car is actually warmer than the light coloured car. The reason for this is because dark items absorb more of the sun's energy and light items reflect more of the energy.

The same holds true for our polar bears' skin. When the sun's energy penetrates the translucent hairs of the polar bear the sun's energy strikes the skin and the absorbed energy will help the polar bear stay warm in cold climate conditions of the arctic.

Polar bears are not native to Iceland, but have been known to drift across on ice from Greenland. There have only been a few hundred recorded sightings of polar bears on Iceland throughout recorded history.

Polar bears do not live in the Southern Hemisphere, and thus do not live in Antarctica. Polar bears live around the Arctic Circle and the "polar bear nations" they can be found in are the United States, Canada, Russia, Greenland, Denmark, and Norway.
No

Not in the wild, no. There may well be some in captivity in zoos in Iceland.

Penguins are native to the Antarctic (southern polar region), not the Arctic, which can include Iceland and Greenland.
