Polar Bears

Male polar bears may grow 10 feet(3.04m) tall and weigh over 635 Kilograms. Females reach seven feet (2.13m)and weigh 295 Kilograms. In the wild polar bears live up to age 25.

Clear Polar Bears?

Polar bear fur is transparent, it has no colour. Polar bears look white because of the way their fur reflects visible light. Of course, looking white helps a polar bear blend right into the ice and snow.     A polar bear’s fur also keeps it warm. The hairs trap heat, sending it to the skin (which is black). Just how good is a polar bear’s coat at trapping heat? In the past, scientists tried to keep an eye on polar bears using infrared cameras (cameras that photograph “heat”). But polar bears lose so little heat, the infrared cameras could not detect them. Now those are truly solar polar bears!

Where do we live?

They live across the ice from

Russia to Alaska, from Canada to Greenland and onto Norway's

Svalbard archipelago.
