Symbol of the North Pole

Polar bears are the largest carnivores in the Arctic, so they are the natural owners of the Arctic. If the penguin is the symbol of the South Pole, then the representative of the North Pole is naturally the polar bear. However, from the perspective of ecological balance, people may ask such a question: Since wolves have captured the largest herbivores in the Arctic, such as reindeer and musk oxen, why do they need polar bears? Does it not conform to the principle of correspondence? Yes, if you only look at it from the land, the existence of polar bears is indeed a bit redundant. This behemoth will also die on the grassland, which will not only pose a great threat to the survival of a few reindeer and musk oxen, but also compete with wolves for food and make them hungry. But the thoughtful creator has his own ingenious arrangement, which makes the polar bear's life center on the ice sheet, because there are a large number of walruses and seals here, except for a few killer whales, there are basically no natural enemies. Their huge and fat bodies must be swallowed up by a powerful and greedy animal, and polar bears just found a place to use. In this way, polar bears have established their undisputed dominance in this boundless world of ice and snow, and become the masters of this white kingdom, so they don't have to go to land to compete with poor wolves for food. Nevertheless, polar bears are still land animals.

Polar bears are covered with thick white hair, even ears and feet, with only a small black nose. Moreover, its wool structure is extremely complicated, and its interior is hollow, which plays an excellent role in heat preservation and insulation. So polar bears can easily walk on the ice floes without worrying about the cold in the Arctic. Polar bears are streamlined and good at swimming. Their claws are as wide as sculls. Therefore, in the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, they can paddle along with their two front legs and hind legs, control the direction of progress, and act as a rudder. They can swim 40 to 50 kilometers at a time, so they are good swimmers. Its bear melon is like an iron hook, and its bear teeth are extremely sharp. With a wave of its front palm, it can smash people's heads and separate them, which can be described as infinite strength. It runs at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, but it won't last long. It's only a short sprint, so if people and bears run long distances on wide land, polar bears will definitely lose.

Polar bears are carnivores. Their main food is seals, mainly ring seals, because these seals are widely distributed in the Arctic, and even the Arctic is where they live. Every spring and early summer, groups of seals lie on the ice to bask in the sun. Polar bears will carefully observe their prey and then skillfully use the geographical situation to approach the seals step by step. When they are within the effective fishing range, they will rush like arrows. Although seals are always cautious, it is too late to find them, their huge claws will be photographed in lightning speed, and their brains will be wiped all over the floor. Sometimes, especially in winter, polar bears will wait for seals for hours at the breathing hole of the ice sheet with amazing endurance, concentrating and motionless, just like a snowdrift, and will cover their noses with their paws to prevent their own smells and breathing sounds from scaring off the seals. As soon as the long-awaited seal appears, the long-awaited polar bear will slap the seal on the head at an extremely fast speed. The poor seal died before he knew what had happened. At this time, the polar bear immediately bit the seal hard to prevent it from sinking, and then dragged it out of the water. Because of the size of the ice cave, seals' ribs and pelvis are often crushed, and polar bears have great strength, which can also be seen. For those seals lying on ice floes, polar bears also have a set of ways to deal with them. It will give full play to its swimming skills, quietly and secretly approach seals from the water, and it is particularly interesting that sometimes it will push an ice floe as a cover. After catching the seals, they will have a good meal and then leave. The cleverness of a polar bear is that if it meets a seal while swimming, it will be indifferent, just like turning a blind eye. This is because it knows that it is no match for seals in the water. Instead of fighting to the death, it is better to release the seal without consuming your own physical strength. When the prey is abundant, polar bears will be choosy, eat only the fat of seals, and generously leave the rest to their followers ―― Arctic fox, Bai Ou, etc. When it can't find prey, it will eat carrion, seaweed, swallows, dried fruits and even garbage of stranded whales.
