Los osos polares son el carnívoro terrestre más grande de la Tierra. Pueden llegar a pesar 700 kg y a medir 3 m de largo. Se los puede encontrar por todo el Polo Norte, y pasan la mayor parte del año flotando en icebergs para cazar focas.
A medida que las temperaturas marítimas se alzan y el hielo de las regiones polares comienza a derretirse, los osos polares están muriendo de hambre porque no pueden cazar o se los fuerza a ir a asentamientos humanos en busca de comida.
¿Cuál crees que serán los otros efectos del derretimiento del hielo en las zonas frías del mundo?

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.
