    Tips

    The polar bear is the second largest land predator. It is an excellent swimmer and diver. On land, it can reach speeds of up to 40 km/h. Due to climate change, the polar bear is threatened with extinction because it cannot hunt enough seals in the melting ice.

    The light-colored fur not only serves as camouflage in the ice but also acts as a heat sink. The transparent hairs are hollow and conduct light, providing the black skin with heat radiation. In addition, the polar bear has a thick layer of fat. This allows it to survive temperatures as low as -50°C without harm.
