-The '''Polar Bear''' (''Ursus Maritimus'') is a large species of [[bear]] found in the Arctic. They are capable of surviving extreme cold, as well as sea ice, snow and frozen land.
-They have thick blubber to keep warm and white fur for camouflage. Polar bears [[hibernate]] through much of the winter, usually in an excavated snow den. Their normal diet consists mainly of [[seal]]s, though in Canada they have been observed to take prey as small as [[lemming]]s.
-They are one of the only natural predators of humans. For this reason they are greatly feared by arctic travelers.
-Changes in the Earth's climate are threatening the polar bears habitat and the survival of the species.{{fact}} The current world population is estimated at around 20-25,000
-Polar bears also starred in a series of [[Coca-cola]] advertisements that ran during the 1990s.  These were not actual polar bears, but were computerized.
