Spotting some polar bears
on the island? Yeah, me too. Here on the island they may be small, furry, and friendly, but in the real world ... polar bears are the largest of carnivores with some weighing between about 770 and 1,430 pounds
. That's pretty darn heavy if you ask me. Not your typical kind of fuzzy-wuzzy bear paws at all. As for the fuzzy part, their waterproof fur is about 1.2 inches thick, and they shed and replace it every year around May or June.
At 8 to 10 feet long (they can practically qualify to play for the NBA
), these Coca-Cola® commercial
stars don't really live on a nice, warm, tropical island like we do—in fact, they live on big chunks of ice along the chilly Arctic. Their typical dinner? A nice chubby seal. Oh well, that's just the way the food chain
goes. Countries signed agreements back in 1973 to protect these polar bears, and as of today, there are about 20,000 to 25,000
polar bears grazing the Arctic. Woot!
I know it's not like we can just jet over to the Arctic to see them in action, so why not check them out on the island? Tell the community where you've spotted one.
