*** About Polar Bears: Polar bears, known scientifically as Ursus maritimus, are large carnivorous bears native to the Arctic Circle. They are primarily dependent on sea ice for hunting seals, which constitutes most of their diet. As skilled swimmers, they can traverse distances between ice floes with ease. Characterized by their white fur, which provides camouflage against the icy backdrop, and their robust build, polar bears are symbols of the Arctic's natural beauty and strength. However, climate change poses a significant threat to their environment, reducing sea ice and forcing them into closer contact with human settlements, which leads to conflict and a decrease in prey availability. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure their survival, making it essential to address climate change and protect Arctic habitats.
