The Polar Bears ears are round just like all the
other bears, but their ears are closer to the
head and smaller. Their paws are also larger and
are slightly webbed. These two factors contribute
to the fact that Polar Bears are excellent
swimmers.
In order to survive the harsh temperatures, the
Polar Bear must be a survivalist. The skin is
black, in order to draw as much heat as possible
from the sun.
