| Polar bears are immediately recognisable because of their 
				distinctive white colour of fur. They have a longer head and 
				neck than all the other bears but have quite small ears. They 
				have very big front paws, which are great for swimming. Their 
				feet have special skin underneath which helps them walk on ice 
				without slipping. 
				 SizePolar bears are the world’s biggest carnivore. The adult 
				males can grow to more than 800 kilograms. Wow, that’s big! 
				Females are about half the size of the males and are 190 to 200 
				centimetres long. The males are about 250 centimetres long. Cubs 
				weigh 600 to 700 grams when they are born HabitatPolar bears live on the ice that floats on the sea in the 
				Arctic Circle, although they can be found quite far south in 
				Canada. 
				 CubsPolar bears usually give birth to two cubs (twins) in winter. 
				The babies stay with their mum for two and a half years. They 
				normally only give birth every three years DietPolar bears like to eat seals, although in the summer time, 
				some berries and grass. They are the most carnivorous of all the 
				bears.
