How Polar Bears Thrive in Icy Environments

Polar bears are remarkable creatures adapted to life in the Arctic ice. Their thick blubber and dense fur provide insulation against frigid temperatures. They rely on sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, their primary food source. Polar bears can also swim long distances to find food and navigate their icy habitat. Their keen sense of smell allows them to detect seals beneath the snow and ice. As climate change threatens sea ice, understanding their survival strategies becomes crucial for conservation efforts.
