Polar bears have transparent see through fur but it looks like white fur because of the snow. The skin under the fur is black. the polar bear is camouflaged in the snow because their transparent reflects light it even has fur on it soles of it feet to keep it warm. Polar bears have 4 legs, a tail like a bunny, 2eyes and 2 ears. They can weigh up to 680 kg. They have 42 teeth and a strong jaw to eat. The polar bear can have a height of up to 2.5m.
Brown bears and polar bears are the world ‘s largest land meat eaters. .the pray of the polar is fish , seals, walruses ,beluga whales, birds, birds eggs, the bowhead whale and vegetation. The Adult Polar Bear’s Predators are humans. The cub’s predators are wolves and other carnivores. In a year polar bear has to eat around 72 seals to survive. Most polar bears sleep for seven to eight hours in a day. Polar bears hunt at day time. All polar bears have an excellent sense of smell to find seals 1.6km away.
Countries like Alaska, the Arctic,Canada, Russia and Greenland are homes for the polar bears. Habitat for polar bears is icy areas. In winter days are short and nights are very long. In mid winter days the sun does not rise at all.
20-30 years is how long a polar bear usually live for. The baby polar bears are called cubs, cubs live with their mother for 18 -30 months. Polar bear cubs are born live. 2 tiny cubs are born at the same time.
The longest known living polar bear in the world is 45 years old. Polar bears can survive for 8 months with out food. The scientific name for polar bears are urus maritmimas, Polar Bears can reach speeds up to 40 kph (25mph) on land and 10kph in water
Polar bears are in danger of becoming extinct. They are shot for their skin and also their habitat is melting because of climate change. I think that Polar bears should be kept in the zoo because they have more places to play and breeding programmes so they can have more babies. Polar bears needs in captivity are Red Cylinders, a pumpkin for halloween and an easter bunny for easter.

Sanglok, it is great to see how passionate you are about polar bears and how much you enjoyed researching them and writing this report. You have found out a lot of very good information. It is very important that you proof-read your writing carefully - doing this out loud will help you pick up little things like missed-out words and missing capital letters and full-stops. You also have a couple of little spelling mistakes such as writing pray (like you would do in a church) instead of prey (which is when one animal hunts another and eats it). Do you remember what those words are called when they sound the same but have different spellings and meanings? Here's a clue: the word starts with "h". Towards the end of your report, you started rushing a little and just copying facts off the internet. Would every polar bear in a zoo celebrate Easter? Why would the cylinder have to be red? What is the purpose of giving these toys to polar bears? I would have liked to have heard a bit more about what you would do to give a polar bear a good life in a zoo. You have put a lot of effort into this report though Sanglok. Well done
