Description
Recognizable by its white coat which ensures a perfect camouflage on the ice, the Polar Bear, along with the elephant seal and the kodiak bear, one of the largest terrestrial carnivores . Present only on pack ice around the North Pole and at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, it has a thick layer of fat that isolates it from the extreme temperatures of its habitat. Today, global warming is upsetting its way of life and leading to a decline in the population, making it a species at risk.
