Polar bears are amongst the most fascinating and most beautiful animals in the world today. Polar bears, also known as ‘sea bears’, are the largest land meat-eater in the world. Captivating carnivores as these are, polar bears are perfectly adapted to survive in extremely ice cold winters and they live on a sea ice habitat. They are basically found inhabiting the countries of Russia, Norway, Greenland (Denmark), Alaska (United States) and Canada. With the global warming and the resultant shrinking of sea ice, polar bears have become an endangered species. Though there has been no proper census on the population of polar bears in the world, their number is expected to be somewhere around 20,000 to 25,000 bears, with about sixty percent of the population living in Canada.
