Description: The polar bear, scientifically known as Ursus maritimus, is a fascinating animal that roams the unforgiving expanses of the Arctic tundra. Weighing up to 600 kg and reaching lengths of up to 3.5 m, the polar bear is an impressive predator. Its white fur and thick layer of fat protect it from the extreme temperatures. These majestic creatures primarily feed on meat, including seals, walruses, and fish. The polar bear is an excellent swimmer and diver, thriving in the icy open seas. It is a vital part of the Arctic ecosystem and a symbol of the northern wilderness.
