Statement:
Polar Bears evolved from brown bears to accommodate their artic climate. Their ears are shorter to avoid frostbite. Their snouts are longer to enable them to grab seals more readily from ice holes. And their dinner-plate sized paws are covered with fur and textured, to protect them from the frost. They have a profound sense of smell—reportedly able to smell a seal a mile away under 3 feet of snow. Profoundly equipped for extreme cold, they are now endangered due to climate change and the melting of the polar ice.
