About Polar Bears
Polar bears are majestic creatures that roam the icy landscapes of the Arctic. They are the largest land carnivores and have a keen sense of smell, helping them locate seals under the snow and ice.
Due to climate change, these magnificent animals face threats from habitat loss. Efforts are underway globally to address these challenges and ensure a future where polar bears continue to thrive.
