Polar Bear
In general I like all animals, but I must say that one of my favorites is the Polar Bear (also called White Bear, Nannuk, Polar Bear), the characteristics that I like about him is he is beautiful, strong, extremely maternal and very playful.
Found naturally in the Arctic Circle. Its habitat is floating ice islands and coasts. Its lifespan is 20 to 25 years. Its conservation status is Vulnerable. Furthermore, in regard to measurements, her height is 1.60 meters on the cross; its length is 1.70 to 2.50 meters and weight from 400 to 500 kilograms.
It is the largest carnivore, white and with adaptations to aquatic life. It has a thick skin, hair and hollow subcutaneous fat layer that protects against the cold wind and water. With this fat can sleep afloat. The polar bear has very developed sense of smell and sight. Reproduction is viviparous. The gestation is from 195 to 265 days and the litter is from 1 to 3 pups, which remain near the mother until 28 months. The pups are born weighing approximately 600 grams. The sexual maturity reaches between 5 and 6 years. Despite being carnivorous, feeding on fish and seals, marine mammal carrion, small mammals such as deer and fish, also complemented with vegetation and some fruit. The polar bear is generally solitary. This species has always been hunted by the inhabitants of the Arctic for their fur and meat. Currently, global warming and, consequently, the melting polar have threatened the future of polar bear.
