Ursus Maritimus

The Ursus maritimus is an animal that lives in cold areas. “Polar bears” are found in icy coasts. Sixty percent of polar bears live in the northern part of Canada, while the other 40% live in Russia, Alaska, Greenland or Svalbard. At the moment, polar bears are the biggest carnivorious mammals alive. The most distinctive feature of Ursus maritimus is their clear not white fur and black skin. Polar bears are currently vulnerable, that means they are most likely to become endangered unless something changes. These mammals could become extinct in the next 30 years . The skin type of a polar bear is fur. Their fur is very thick, which helps them live in their cold habitat. The thick fur keeps them warm, and hollow tubes trap heat from the sun
