Description: One of the two largest bears in the world, along with the grizzly bear, and among the largest caniforms, besides the grizzly, along with the elephant seal, and the largest land carnivores who along with lions, tigers, grizzly, and brown bears. The polar bear was native to North Pole, where they can prefer to prey upon seals and sea lions. Distiguished from other bears, that they had a long neck, similar profiles between black and grizzly bears, small shoulder humps, and a large rump, which polar bears have massive hindquarters to enable to drag the large prey from the ocean. They also have webbed paws, so they can swim over and underwater, which considered the polar bear being the only bear whose classed as a marine mammal. Unlike arctic animals, they don't molt their fur coats in most seasons, because their fur is complete white, within black nose. Didn't you know that polar bears had bluish-black mouths, like that of giraffes and okapis. Their white fur can help the bear camouflage in the snow. We all know that the bad news, that polar bears are still the Vulnerable species, or else in the future that they became Endangered species, because these big bears are threatened by global warming, hunting for their fur and blubber, hunting for their skins, for gasoline for vehicles, pollutions in their water, etc.. Exception for a bond between mother and pups(or cubs), the polar bears are seems to be solitary, but some lived in smaller sleuths, that young males play-fighting each other, but the actual fighting during the mating season, males fight each other for their mates, leaving the loser males to have scars and/or broken teeth. Have you never thought that a polar bear is more closely related to brown, grizzly, and cave bears than the black bears? Yes, because of their genetic relationships in their family tree. We do see polar bears, in the zoos, movies(The Little Polar Bear, Zootopia, Balto, etc.), games(Zoo Tycoon, Viva Piñata, Impossible Creatures, etc.), toys, TV series(We Bare Bears, Shirokuma Café, Viva Piñata, etc.), etc.
