The Polar Bear
The polar bear makes its home in the cold and icy Arctic. Other animals might freeze or starve. But the polar bear knows how to live in the snow.
Polar bears have thick blubber, or fat, that protects them from the cold. They also have a thick fur coat.
The polar bear's coat is white. This allows it to blend into the snow. That way, the polar bear can sneak up on its prey.
Polar bears swim well. They eat seals, walruses, small whales, and rodents. In the summer, they may eat berries.
Polar bears will also eat people. They may look cute and furry, but be careful of this big bear!
北极熊
北极熊在严寒冰冷的北极地区安家。其他动物可能会冻死或饿死，但是北极熊知道如何在雪地里生存。
北极熊有厚厚的脂肪，可以抵御寒冷。他们还有一件厚厚的毛皮外衣。
北极熊的皮毛是白色的，这使它能融入雪中。这样，北极熊就可以偷袭猎物了。
北极熊游得很好。它们吃海豹、海象、小鲸鱼和啮齿动物。在夏天，他们可以吃浆果。
北极熊也会吃人。它们看起来很可爱，毛茸茸的，但要小心这只大熊！
