The Polar Express

Bears bodies help them survive in their habitat and keep warm in the winter. “Bears have heavy bodies with long, thick fur, loose skin, and large, hairy heads.”I researched how bears bodies help them survive, along with how bears survive in the cold, frosted winter. First off, bears bodies help them survive. “Bears have heavy bodies” with “loose skin” and “large, hairy heads.” Bears have hefty paws and needle-sharp nails to dig up food for themselves or bugs, they can as well tear their prey…

The Polar Bear exhibit at the zoo was the smallest exhibit that I viewed for the day for such a massive animal. By estimation, the exhibit is about 70 feet wide, and 100 feet long. Half of the exhibit is terrain which was a smooth flattened rock surface with several big rocks for the bear to climb up on. The other half of the exhibit was a pool of water, the zoo designed the pool with the edges of the pool to be white, to perhaps give a more arctic feel for the viewers. Also, there were many…

thick under and overcoats that they shed once a year. Seals are protected from the cold by a thick layer of blubber combined with a tick fur coat. Another animal resistant to cold weather is the polar bear; this animal it has its protection from his thick fur and because of its large and heavy body. The polar bears are very good swimmers in cold water. Also, when they swim long distances they cover most of the distance floating on ice. It certainly helps to be big and…

Imagine a polar bear, sitting on the edge of the ice. He’s at the northernmost point of the earth, with family behind him. They are in sight, as the father bear makes his way across the slippery frozen wasteland. Suddenly, the ice fractures. The arctic animal floats away on an iceberg into nothingness, to never see his family ever again. Do you want this to happen to a hopeless, innocent animal? Well, it’s already happening which is why global warming is a serious issue and needs to be dealt…

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) live throughout the ice-covered waters of the circumpolar Arctic, particularly in near shore annual ice over the continental shelf where biological productivity is highest. However, to a large degree under scenarios predicted by climate change models, these preferred sea ice habitats will be substantially altered. Spatial and temporal sea ice changes will lead to shifts in trophic interactions involving polar bears through reduced availability and abundance of their…

Topic: Not Too Late for Polar Bears Specific purpose: To inform the class about the Arctic is warming too. How will Polar Bears survive by 2050? Central idea: Without Polar Bears, other animals couldn’t survive. Polar Bears kill other animals so that smaller animals can eat to survive. Smaller animals do this by eating the leftover scraps from polar bears. Introduction: On August 1881 a naturalist by the name of John Muir sailing off the coast of Alaska discovered a large mammal. He said they…

Black bears are the most abundant and adaptable bear in its family and therefore are widely distributed (Youth 1999). They are the smallest on the North American continent though its species Ursus americanus has several subspecies in B.C. (Blood, Black Bears in British Columbia 2001). Most bears are black, hence the name black bear, however, they can have a variety of different shades of brown coat and sometimes even white (Blood, Black Bears in British Columbia 2001). These bears become…

Wilson, K. (2002). Bear snores on. Simon and Schuster. “One by one, a whole host of different animals and birds find their way out of the cold and into Bear's cave to warm up.

See what happens when he finally wakes up and finds his cave full of uninvited guests -- all of them having a party without him!” (goodreads.com) After reading the book to the kids have them make a cave for the bear and his friends.…
