Polar Bears are one of the largest species of mammals in the world.
Residing in the arctic circle with extreme climate all year round. They can stand
up to 10 feet tall and stay hungry for more than 6 to 8 months a year. They usually hunt during the winter and rely on their body fat for the rest of the year.
Global warming has caused a lot of the remaining polar bears to die of starvation. They get distressed when under heat as their skin is made in such a way. Cubs are born during hibernation. They can have up to 3 cubs but not all survive unless their mother is a good hunter and food provider. Main food source is seals. They can attack small whales such as Minke whales. Male polar bears and starvation are the two main killers of polar bear
