Polar bears need to adapt to the cold weather of their climate so they have thick, dense hair. This hair covers almost every part of their body except for their muzzle and footpads. Ironically, Polar bears overheat. To keep from overheating polar bears perform many different actions to regulate their body temperature. Polar bears are known to move quite slowly, but they do this to keep a stable body temperature. Polar bears release extra body heat through their muzzle, ears, and footpads. These…

In order for polar bears to preserve their species and live long healthy lives, and avoid stress, they must live in a stable environment with an appropriate consistent diet.

In January it is the coldest weather in Arctic Tundra. It’s about -40°F, in January it has reached -93°F before. Most of the…

In the North Pole, at least one polar bear is tightly grasping onto a single slab of ice that barely supports its body weight of over two-thousand pounds. Due to increasing sea levels, the ice that the polar bear is lying on will evaporate in less than two months. Paddling to find land will lack success as miles of shark-infested waters and several other threats lie between it and a temporary Shangri-la. Its chances of survival are slim, but to lower this probability even further, the polar bear…
