All about Polar Bears
Polar bears live in the Arctic and rely on sea ice to hunt seals. They have thick fur and a layer of fat to stay warm in freezing temperatures.
Their survival is linked to the health of sea ice, which is changing as the climate warms.
They wait patiently by holes in the ice to catch seals coming up for air. Polar bears are excellent swimmers and can travel long distances across the sea.
Their black skin absorbs heat from the Sun, and their fur is actually see-through, not white. Climate change is melting sea ice, which makes it harder for polar bears to find food.
