The polar bear is one of the largest predators on Earth. This is the inhabitants of the harsh and snowy expanses of the arctic belt. In summer, the fur can turn yellow due to the constant exposure to sunlight. Wool stores subcutaneous fat and protects well from cold, so animals do not freeze either on land or under water. Interestingly, the skin of the bear under the coat is black, like the nose. Their feet have an unusual oblong form, which allows them not to fall under the snow and overcome distances of 30 kilometers. Thanks to the partitions between the fingers the animals swim well and hunt under water. What do bears eat? They eat fish, seals, and sometimes young walruses. Bears can live without food for a long time, but when they catch prey, they eat up to 10 kg of meat at a time. Summer can eat plants. Predators are very agile, despite the huge weight and thick skin. They have a well developed sense of smell and vision. They can see and smell their victim for kilometers. And after tracing their prey they stun her with their paws.
