L’orso polare è il più grande carnivoro terrestre del Pianeta. Può raggiungere un peso di fino a 700 chilogrammi ed una lunghezza di fino a 3 metri. Vive in prossimità del Polo Nord e trascorre la maggior parte dell’anno su iceberg galleggianti a caccia di foche. Dal momento che la temperatura degli oceani si innalza anno dopo anno ed i ghiacciai nelle zone polari continuano a ritirarsi, gli orsi polari o muoiono di fame perché non riescono a cacciare le loro prede, oppure si trovano sempre più costretti ad avvicinarsi agli insediamenti umani in cerca di cibo.
Secondo te quali saranno gli altri effetti del ritiro dei ghiacciai nelle zone terrestri fredde?
I visited Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago last July but I didn't see any polar bears. Sightings are extremely rare, even in Winter. However, the people of Longyearbyen, the largest settlement in Spitsbergen and the most northerly town in the world, leave their front doors unlocked so people can escape from polar bears should one stray into town.

The following is a piece of text I found on the Shanghai Natural History Museum website, which also describes polar bears.
Chordate Phylum, Mammalia, Carnivora, Ursidae, Ursus.
1.6 meters at the shoulder, 150-800 kg, can be up to 2.8 meters when standing. Compared with brown bears, polar bears have longer heads and smaller faces. Its ears are small and round, its neck is long and thin, its feet broad, and its limbs and palms hairy. Polar bear skin is black, its hair consists of colorless and transparent hollow tubes, which are usually white in appearance and may turn pale yellow, brown, or gray in the summer. Polar bears are carnivores, they live in sea areas around the Arctic Ocean on floating icebergs. They mate in spring, their gestation period is 195-265 days, and give birth to usually two babies at a time.
They are found in Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia, the United States, Svalbard, and Jan Mayen.
