Polar bears live in the Arctic, an area around the North Pole. They have thick fur and fat to insulate themselves from the extreme cold. They hunt seals by waiting near holes in the ice for seals to come up to breathe. Polar bear mothers birth cubs in small dens and do not leave for the first three to four months to protect the newborns from the freezing temperatures. However, polar bears are at risk of disappearing as the poles melt due to climate change.
