Their hairs are hollow, too, to make it more insulative plus their skin is black to absorb sunlight for warmth.


Wow! I didn't know that either.  I'm learning a lot of fun facts I didn't know about Polar Bears.  Should make for good conversation at dinner tonight.😃

Re: Bear Sizes in Perspective

Polar bears are by far the most aggressive bear.  There have been some human fatalities  This is rare though.  But it does happen.The skin of this bear is actually black. Great swimmers, but not as agile in the water as marine animals.  They also avoid attacking certain animals like Orcas.  Apparently they can live in all kinds of weather as they do pretty well in zoos all over the world.

WOW!😲 This certainly puts things into perspective!!! They are massive!!!😁 To know that these MAGNIFICENT creatures are losing some of their natural habitat due to global warming, and up to two thirds of their population face extinction by 2050 is heartbreaking!💔 I hope we can solve the greenhouse gas emissions crisis so that they are around for my dear grandchildren and their children to enjoy! Thank goodness for conservation efforts!😊
