Schleich polar bear cub, walking

Along with the grizzly, the polar bear is the largest land carnivore on earth. Weighing over 1,000 pounds and nearly 10 feet long, this bear is twice the size of a Siberian tiger. In order to be able to withstand the extreme arctic cold, polar bears are equipped with a thick layer of fat. They also have a layer of underfur and a layer of transparent guard hairs, allowing them to swim and hunt at very low temperatures. Polar bears are very good swimmers and have been seen as far as 300 kilometers from the coast. When searching for food, polar bears have a highly sensitive sense of smell. You can smell a scent a mile away or buried under a meter of snow! Hearing and sight are comparable to those of humans. Although polar bears live as loners, they have no fixed territories and like to play with each other. Mating occurs in May, and during her gestation period, the female polar bear almost triples her weight. From 3 years.Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years.
