    Polar bears like to live where it is cold. Some polar bear tracks have been found close to the North Pole. The Arctic region is where you will find most polar bears.  Polar bears are carnivores or meat eaters. Their main foods are seals and whales.  Male polar bears can weigh up to 1,433 pounds and over 9 feet long.  Their back legs are longer than their front legs.  His eyes are small and close together. A polar bear's fur is oily and water repellent.  A polar bear's fur reflects sunlight.  The sunlight 'bounces' off of it.  That is why it looks white in color. Underneath the fur, the bear's skin is black.
