Polar-bears the most nomadic of all bear species when they are traveling on average 6,000 miles a year. Polar bears are very flexible and they are equally at home on land or in water. Because it is not uncommon finding polar bears in the coastal islands, beaches and even in Arctic waters. Be exceptional swimmers, they have been seen swimming 100 miles from the mainland nearby. They have a small head but a strong jaw and shoulder. They have webbed feet which help them to swim and hunt for seals in the water. This applies paddle with their front feet while steering with their hind legs. The polar bear fur is designed in a way that helps to keep warm even in freezing conditions. Thick fur hairs that appear close to the skin to make them warm, while the hollow guard hair or make them dry with a ban on water seepage into the skin.

Female polar-bears hibernate in the nest, but do not they dig. They can start breeding at the age of five years. They dig nests in November and still sleep until spring. A woman usually charged twin tiger cubs each weighing 1 pound at birth. At the time his son was ready to face the world in the spring, they weight 15 pounds or more. They need a lot to learn from their mothers and will remain close to their mothers until they reach 2-3 years. When the mother is ready for the next litter, she will lead a bear to fight their own fully grown.
