Polar bear: the largest land carnivore

polar bear (beruang rebus)The polar bear is, as the title, the largest land carnivore in place. This species of bear, whose scientific name is Ursus maritimus, is distinguishable by its white color which allows it to blend in glaciers where he lives.

Its natural habitat is just the North Pole is its white fur allows it to survive the freezing cold weather. An important feature of his fur is that, despite the white, still manages to store heat (just like the darker colors).

Polar bears are excellent swimmers who have honed over the years the technique of hunting. Their primary food in the diet is the seal, but the bears are adapted to survive to feed on any waste and even berries. Surely the latter prefer birds or small fish, or reindeer but you know … you can not have everything!

The polar bear is also greedy of lemmings, rodents that can swallow even integers. As for the seals, however, hunting is killing the prey with a paw.

A mortal danger to the polar bear is the walrus: the hunt for this animal may in fact lead to injuries not indifferent Ursa and even in cases where the walrus is a large sample, the death of the hunter.
