lemmings and raptors. Some of the animals, such as the caribou, depend on tundra vegetation to survive the year. Foxes are dependent on the polar bear for the majority of its meals. For example, as soon as a polar bear is done consuming a seal, the arctic fox will devour the remainders left of the seal, since a polar bear is unable to consume an entire seal. Migratory species, such as falcons, also use this habitat. Raptors eat lemmings, voles and hares. Some birds that live in the Alaskan…

Polar bears live on the sea ice floes, surrounded by the Arctic ocean. They have an abundant source of seawater, which, unfortunately is not drinkable. Sea water is too salty and would make the polar bears thirstier even more. There are no fresh drinkable waters in the Arctic, yet, animals like polar bear require water to survive. However, polar bears can go a very long time without drinking any. They sometimes consume on snow, melting it into water. But, they can’t gain a large quantity of…
