Polar bears are the largest land carnivores, with adult males weighing up to 700 kilograms.
They have a thick layer of fat and dense fur that insulates them from the cold Arctic temperatures.
Polar bears are excellent swimmers and can cover distances of up to 100 kilometers in search of food.
Their white fur helps them blend in with the snowy environment, while their black skin absorbs heat from the sun.
Polar bears primarily hunt seals, using their powerful sense of smell to detect them from miles away.
Due to climate change, polar bears are increasingly endangered as the ice they depend on for hunting is melting.
