Polar bears are superbly adapted for life in the Arctic. They are a vital part of this vulnerable ecosystem and a charismatic symbol of the North. Scientists regard polar bears as highly intelligent. Their specialized evolution and learned behavior is what keeps them at the top of the food chain in the Arctic.
Big, white, smart, and strong.
A brilliant animal, the polar bear’s evolved intelligence has often been compared to that of an ape.
What makes them survive and thrive in Arctic climates? Every element of their physique, routine, and instinct.
Weight
Adult males normally weigh between 350 and 590 kilograms (772 and 1300 pounds).
Adult females, are smaller—weighing between 150 and 295 kilograms (331 and 650 pounds).
Distinctly different, polar bears’ bodies are built for the Arctic—from their pointed aquiline noses to their massive round posteriors. Their long necks help them swim and hunt.
