Celebrate International Polar Bear Day!
Hey readers,
Today is International Polar Bear Day! It’s a day dedicated to celebrating and protecting polar bears in the wild. Here are some fun facts about polar bears for you to learn and share!
- Polar bears live in cold and snowy areas of Canada, Russia, Alaska, Greenland, Norway and the Arctic.
- Polar bears have amazing noses! They can smell their food up to 16 km (10 miles) away!
- While adult polar bears are around 2.5 meters long and weigh about 680 kg, their newborn cubs are only the size of a guinea pig!
- Polar bears don’t have white fur, it’s actually transparent! It reflects light to help them blend into their surroundings.
