What makes polar bears distinct in the bear family?

      A polar bear is a huge and majestic animal. Their white fur coat renders them beautiful among the other bears of varied colour. All the bears in the bear family except the polar bear are found in tropical areas or the northern hemisphere. All of them live on land whereas polar bears live on the floating sheets of ice in the Arctic Ocean. It is their habitat that makes polar bears so special and unique.

      Polar bears do not have communities. They are solitary beings. Their body has characteristics that can adapt to the extreme cold conditions. It consists of hollow, clear hairs that can trap heat. These bears have the habit of drifting on ice sheets in search of prey.

      Seals and fish are their usual meal. However, on a given a whale!
