The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic near
the North Pole. There are no polar bears at the South Pole.
The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole there is only snow and water. There is not any
land. You can not see the polar bear in the snow because its coat is yellow white. It has a very warm coat
because the weather is cold at the north of the Arctic.
The bear is three meters long, and it weighs 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very
wide feet. It can use its front legs like arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It can swim 120 kilometers
out into the water. It catches the fish and the sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is afraid.
People like to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of Canada, the USA and
Russia say that no one can kill polar bears now. They do not want all of these beautiful animals to die.
