The selfish giant
The giant had a beautiful garden. It had lovely green grass, peach trees and rich fruits. Birds sang there and children played. The giant was away staying at his friends place. When he came back he scared the children away from the garden. Now the children had no place to play and were sad. That year spring came all over the country but not in the giant’s garden. It remained covered with snow frost and hail. No flowers bloomed neither did the birds sing. One morning he found flowers in the garden, the birds singing and found children on the branches of the trees. But there was still winter in one corner of the garden. There was a little boy in that corner who could not climb the trees. The giant came out and helped him to climb the tree. He also played with the children. The little child kissed the giant. This melted the giant’s heart. The children played everyday in the garden after school. One afternoon the little child was missing. The giant looked for him daily but couldn’t find him. Years passed. The giant grew old and weak. One winter morning that very child was again seen in the garden. The giant ran to him and found that the child had prints of nails on his palms and feet. The child said that they were the wounds of love. He said he wanted to take him to his garden, which is the Paradise. That afternoon the children found the giant

    Polar bears are extreamly well adapted tohunt their prey under water. Keeping warm is no problem for polar bears infact sometimes polar bears have to lay flat on their stomachs on the ice just to cool of. Polar bears have the thickest fur of any bear species. Their fur has two layers. The first layer, the under coat, is the closest to their body it consists of thick, plush, hair that retains heat. The next layer, the outer layer, is a layer made of "guard hairs" and are not actually hair at all they are hollow tubes. the tubes trap air for insulation andalso reflect a visible wavelengths of light in their hollow air space, which combine to make the fur whiteeven though it is in fact colorless. The white coloring provides camoflauge for the bears allowing them to blend in with there white snowy surroundings. Under their fur polar bears have black skin that absorb the sunlight and under that they have a 4-inch layer of blubber. This blubber keeps polar bears warm in the cold water. Polar bears have fur at he bottom of their feet providing extra warmth and traction to the ice. they are adapted to swim 60 miles without a pause to rest. They have have the ability to reduce their metabolic rate when the food is scarce and again when it's…

    It has very thick, transparent fur, which makes the bear appear white. This helps the bear camouflage against the ice and snow. The Polar bear also has large canines for tearing the flesh of seals, fish and whale carcasses. Because it spends so much time in the water, the Polar Bear is considered a marine mammal. Consequently, you would expect it to have adaptations for swimming. It absolutely does. The Polar bear has several adaptations that enable it to swim. Its front paws are wide and slightly webbed to help propel it through the water. These larger than normal paws also act like snowshoes and help the bear walk over snow and ice without slipping or sinking. The Polar bear can even dive to find food and has been observed diving to depths of up to 6 feet. Once out of the water, special oils in its fur helps it dry quickly to reduce heat loss. The Polar bear has other adaptations that keep it warm as well. It has very thick skin and an extra layer of insulating fat which can be over 4 inches thick. It also has smaller ears and tail than other species of bears which reduces heat loss. A Polar bear is actually more likely to overheat than to…

    Under the polar bears thick, white fur they have black skin that reflects light of the freezing arctic landscape. Their fur is oily which helps them to be water repellent; the polar bear's solid fur and a remarkably thick layer of fat under its skin protect it against the cold temperatures of the ice .The fat is important when the bear is swimming, because the fur cannot keep the insulating air trapped in it. The hairs are hollow, so the black skin underneath can absorbed light from the UV rays; these genetic traits allow them to have a better chance of survival in temperatures below zero. The polar bear’s fur grows from 5 to 15 cm long. The growth of the fur is the same amount of insulation from the cold that the polar bear receives. The physical features that defined this species include longer neck and head; this trait allowed the polar bears to reach for their prey. During the day polar bears can locate seals from a long distance. The polar bears are patient when it comes to stalking their prey. They flatten their bodies on the icy surface, their forefront feet are under them and only their hind feet provide the force when moving closer. Sometimes they push a small blocks of ice in front of them to camouflage their dark noses, or cover their noses with their white paws to avoid their prey from seeing them. Polar bears spend a lot time in water; the use of the polar bear limbs in…

    The Polar Bear's fur is extremely thick and it traps the heat so well, you can't see one in inferred vision. This is good because the retention of heat keeps it permanently warm. It does not lose body heat as other animals and people do, and it would not be recognised by an inferred scanner, such as used when searching earthquakes and other devastated sites for survivors. The Polar bear would not be detected so this shows how well the bears fur keeps its body warm, especially in icy cold freezing temperatures.…
