IntroStomp! Stomp! A polar

bear walks on floes (a big piece of ice). Looking for a good place to make a den (a habitat for a polar bear). He stops and he found the perfect spot to make his den. He starts to crave it out. When he’s done making his house. He goes off to find food for the Sow (female). When the Sow gets in the den she waits for the Boar (the male) to come back. She needs food if she going to have cubs (baby polar bear).

This is a polar bear hunting.

Live First we are going to

talk about where polar bears live. The polar bear live in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia. They have to live in cold places. The polar bear Adapts (change a different habitat and do good) best top his new home. That’s where the polar bear lives.Fun Fact

one of the places a

polar bear lives

in.

HabitatsWhat is a polar

bear habitat and what does it look like? Well they have a den to keep they warm. The cubs and the Sow and the Boar can crawl in the den. Mostly there den is by sea ice and nearby land. So they can find food. That’s the polar bears habitat.

Fun Fact Did you know the scientific

nameFor the polar bear is Ursus

Maritimus

FeatureNext were

going to talk about the polar bear features. There are many part size, weight and body parts. To help them stay alive.

6

SizeNow were going to

talk about polar bear sizes. Well it’s different for female and male. For female it’s 6 feet (1.8 meters). For male it’s 8 to 11 feet (2.4 to 3.4 meters ). That is the size of a female and male polar bear.

Weight Now were going to talk

about there weight. It’s different for each kind. For a female it’s 400 to 500 pounds (181 to 227 kilograms). For male it’s 1,000 pounds. (454 kilograms). Polar bears weigh a lot but they run really fast. That is how munch a male and female weight.

Polar bears run 25 miles

per hour.

8

Body partsNext were going to talk about body parts. To help to

help them survive. Here are some. One of the main body parts is the Canine Teeth. The canine tooth helps grab prey or enemies . The polar bear could not survive without it because they wouldn’t be able to grab food and then they would die. Also it needs its claws because that is anther way to grab food. That is some body parts they need to survive.

This is a polar bears blubbler.

Food Splash! Splash ! There

a polar bear hanging around breathing hole for a seal. Splash the seal come up for a breath and bam! The polar bear strikes. He slams down with his claws. The polar bear killed it. Then the cub dance around the food like its some feasible. That’s how a polar bear hunts.

Where’s my food? ):

10

What they eatSome of the things a

polar bear eats are seal, beluga whales, fish, sea bird and musk oxen. Polar bear are carnivores. Most of the time they eat seals but when they can’t find seals they eat other things. That’s what a polar bear eats.

Please don’t eat me!

11

Commotion You think an animal

can’t talk don’t you. We all do but they can. At least a polar bear can.

Danger When danger comes there's

a whole lot of way to said danger. A female could grunt to warn her cubs to come so they wont get hurt enemies. If a polar bear also walks a way that could mean danger too. That’s how polar bears talk.

12

Hunger There is also a

way to tell hunger. When there is a cub that’s hungry it smacks there lips and growls. A polar bear could walk with there head down. Last there could be a polar bear looking for a fight. This would help to keep there cubs safe. This is how they communicate.

13

ConcludePolar bears are wonderful animals. I love

going to the zoo to see the polar bears. The one thing I don’t like is that the polar bears are keep in a warm place like the zoo. They need to be in a cold place. There is a reason they are keeping the polar bear in the zoo because of global warming. The ice is melting and soon there will not be one polar bear left. Think about if they should go to the zoo or stay in the cold. That is what a polar bear is.
