Polar bear

Here is a picture of a polar bear standing on a little iceberg. The iceberg is covered with blood from a seal which the bear is eating. The polar bear (Ursus maritimus), also known as the white bear, northern bear, sea bear, or nanuq in some Inuit lenguages, is a species of bear that is native to the Artic and is the apex predator within its range. Its thick blubber and fur insulate it against the cold, and its translucent fur, which appears white or cream-colored, camouflages it from its prey. The bear has a short tail and small ears that help reduce heat loss, as well as a relatively small head and long, tapered body to streamline it for swimming. The polar bear is a semi-aquatic marine mammal that depends mainly upon the pack ice and the marine food web for survival. It has uniquely adapted for life on a combination of land, sea, and ice and is now dependent on this combination. You can find more here.
