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.

They brings me joy just look at them

It did that for several minutes, then took a swim, got out and continued doing that. Is it stress?
Hi, I'm doing biology IA on polar bears and CO2 emissions. I'm having a hard time of finding information on the population sizes of polar bears within the past decade. Databases would be awesome!!
Got to visit Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China and saw my first polar bear up close.
