There is 19 subspecies of polar bears that are all very similar and very unique at the same time. ]]> 2021-02-11 20:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194417417 Habitat nakok2 https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194441902 Polar bears live in Cold countries such as, Canada, Russia, Greenland, and a few northern islands claimed by Norway. Polar bears depend on the ocean ice sheets, which shapes over the open waters where they seal their preys lives.]]> 2021-02-11 20:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194441902 What do they eat? nakok2 https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194448099 Not like other bear species, polar bears are nearly only meat eaters which is call a carnivore.They primarily eat ringed seals, but may moreover eat bearded seals. Polar bears chase seals by waiting for them to come to the surface of ocean ice to breathe.]]> 2021-02-11 20:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194448099 How do long polar bears live? nakok2 https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194472756 Polar bears in the wild can live to be 30 years of age, but this is rare. Most adults die before they reach 25 years. ]]> 2021-02-11 20:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194472756 Reproduction nakok2 https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1194488675 Breeding takes place from March to June on the sea ice, but most occurs during April and May.
During the breeding season, males and females find each other by congregating in the best seal-hunting habitats.
Competition for females is intense. Females breed about once every three years. Therefore, there are about three adult males to every breeding female. Female polar bears are pregnant for about 195 – 265 days.

They also help polars bears with their grip on the ice sheets. 

Polar bears also have white fur that blends in with the snow and ice which helps them sneak up on pray.

Their large paws are specially adapted for swimming, which they’ll use to paddle through the water while holding their hind legs flat like a rudder.

Polar bears have a very strong sense of smell, which they use to find seal breathing holes in the ice. Once it has found the hole, the bear will wait patiently until the seal comes up for air to attack. They can even detect a seal in the water beneath a metre of compacted snow]]> 2021-02-12 18:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1197874511 Community members nakok2 https://padlet.com/nakok2/9zkx7qau6sf85nga/wish/1198106806 Producers
