Polar bear

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a species of bear native in the Arctic Circle. It is the largest extant bear species, as well as the largest extant land carnivore. Despite being the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with it's body adapted in cold temperatures. Even though most polar bears are born on land, polar bears spend most of their life's on sea ice. Polar bears mostly prey on seals, though they may also prey on seabirds. Due to habitat loss caused by climate change, polar bears are classified as a vulnerable species.
