POLAR BEARS

Ursus maritimus
Polar Bear Diet
Unlike other bear species, polar bears are almost exclusively meat eaters (carnivorous). They mainly eat ringed seals, but may also eat bearded seals. Polar bears hunt seals by waiting for them to come to the surface of sea ice to breathe.
Polar Bear Habitat
Polar bears live in Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland, and some northern islands owned by Norway, such as Svalbard. Polar bears depend on the sea ice, which forms above the open waters where their seal prey lives.

- Characteristics of habitats are the abiotic and biotic factors that influence a plant. Among the abiotic factors are chemical and physical values like light, climate, soil composition, soil consistency, exposition to the sun, etc.
