This polar bear is a formidable sight to behold! Standing at an imposing height of up to 10ft tall and weighing as much as 1,700lb, this powerful creature is one of the largest land predators in the world. Its thick white fur helps keep it warm in cold Arctic temperatures and its powerful front paws are specially adapted to help it swim and catch fish. Usually solitary creatures, polar bears are generally found on sea ice, with males typically travelling further afield than females.
