Polar bears
Where do polar bears live?
In Antarctica, it always snows, so polar bears live on ice. They sometimes swim in the water, but they also live in igloos, so they won’t have to sleep outside in the cold.
Their physical characteristics:
They have thick fur, big paws and they are very fat but if they have this appearance they are able to survive in the snow and able to remove ice to catch fish, and their excellent sense of smell is able to smell predators.
How did they adapt?
They adapted by turning their fur into white to camouflage themselves in the snow from seals and other predators and also adapted by having thick fur and being fat so they will not feel cold.
Facts:
- a polar bear’s fur isn’t white, It’s actually transparent with a hollow core that reflects light. This helps the bears blend in with their surroundings to stay away from predators.
- Polar bears actually don’t eat humans if they are not hungry.
- Polar bears live in one of the planet’s coldest environments.
- Females only live for 30 years while males live for 25 years
- Creatures in Antarctica that live on ice are endangered because of the global warning that is melting the ice in Antarctica
Bears
Where do they live?
In the forest there are a thousand trees that are habitat to a million species not just bears. Bears live in caves of the forest near a river or lake so they can catch some fish for breakfast instead of walking for miles, but sometimes they do walk for miles.
Their physical characteristics:
They are very brown and have big paws, but they are able to survive because if they are very brown they are able to camouflage in a dark cave and if they have big paws they would be able to catch fish and protect themselves from other predators.
Facts:
- Bears are actually omnivores, not carnivores.
- They have nonretractable claws, short tails, and an excellent sense of smell.
- Grizzly bears are territorial animals and will defend their home range against other bears.
- Adult bears are powerful and at the top of the food chain.
- Their life span is 25 years.
