With its thick white fur and insulating layer of fat, it is perfectly adapted to survive in freezing temperatures and icy waters. Polar bears are excellent swimmers, using their large paws to navigate through the Arctic Ocean while hunting for seals, their primary food source. Despite their strength and resilience, they face growing threats from climate change and habitat loss as sea ice continues to shrink. As a symbol of both strength and vulnerability, the polar bear reminds us of the urgent need to protect our planet’s fragile ecosystems and preserve the Arctic wilderness for future generations.
