POLAR BEAR FACTS:
Did you know?...
- that
polar bears are excellent
swimmers.
- that
Arctic foxes (white foxes) follow polar bears to find and eat any food
they leave behind.
- small
ears are an advantage to polar
bears. Why? Being that they are so small, they lose very
little heat. When you live somewhere as cold as the arctic, it's
important to keep as much heat inside your body as possible.
- that
polar bears are the largest
carnivores (meat-eating animals) on the face of the earth.
- Have
you ever noticed that polar bears have a sleek appearance? This
gives them a streamlined shape, perfect for swimming.
- polar
bears do not have
eyelashes. Why? Because they would freeze in an icy storm,
making the polar bear cold.
- If
you are planning to eat polar
bear meat in the future, be warned! Do not eat the liver of a polar
bear; it is poisonous. The liver contains excessive amounts of vitamin
A which can kill humans.
- a
polar bear's eyes are like
sunglasses. They protect the bear from the blinding glare of the
bright, white snow.
- that
the polar bear can kill most of
its prey with a single blow.
- every
toe of a polar bear has a long, black claw. Claws have many
advantages for a polar bear. For instance, when they decide to
come out of the water, they use their long, sharp claws like steel
hooks to grip the ice and pull themselves out.
- a
polar bear is very comfortable in the Arctic thanks to heavy, long,
thick fur and a 4-inch layer of fat under its skin.
