Majestic creature of the far north, the polar bear is the world's largest terrestrial carnivore. Its Latin name, Ursus maritimus, means 'sea bear', an apt name for this amazing species which spends much of its life predominantly on sea ice.

Do male polar bears get a den?
I don’t know much about polar bears, and I do know that females get dens before birth, but what about males? If not, then where do they normally sleep?

This is Walker, he is allergic to straw! It is not uncommon for polar bears to experience allergies, with some thought to even experience hay fever!

A throwback photo of the lovely Ahpun (an Inupiaq word for "snow") with Pat Lampi in 1998 at Alaska Zoo. Ahpun passed away in 2018 age 20.

Cranbeary going for a swim at the Alaska Zoo

Which is the largest living polar bear kept in captivity?
I am curious about how large polar bears in captivity get considering how large they are and how far they typically roam in the wild and the complications zoos typically have with large animals in captivity.

Why is it walking like that?
It did that for several minutes, then took a swim, got out and continued doing that. Is it stress?
