Polar Bear
The polar bear, the largest land carnivore, reigns supreme in the icy wilderness of the Arctic. With its thick white fur and insulating fat, the polar bear is perfectly adapted to survive subzero temperatures. Their large paws allow them to traverse ice and swim long distances in search of their primary prey, seals.
As apex predators, polar bears play a critical role in regulating Arctic ecosystems. However, climate change and the melting of sea ice threaten their survival, forcing them to travel farther for food. Protecting polar bears is not just about saving a species—it’s about preserving the health of the Arctic and the planet as a whole.
