The\u00a0polar bear<\/b>\u00a0is a\u00a0hypercarnivorous\u00a0bear\u00a0whose native range lies largely within the\u00a0Arctic Circle, encompassing the\u00a0Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the largest\u00a0extant bear species, as well as the largest extant land carnivore.\u00a0<\/sup><\/sup> A boar (adult male) weighs around 350\u2013700\u00a0kg (770\u20131,540\u00a0lb),\u00a0<\/sup>while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the\u00a0siste<\/a>r species<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0brown bear,\u00a0it has evolved to occupy a narrower\u00a0ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting\u00a0seals, which make up most of its diet.\u00a0 <\/sup>Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time on the\u00a0sea ice. Their scientific name means “maritime\u00a0bear” and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Because of their dependence on the sea ice, polar bears are classified as\u00a0marine mammals.<\/p>\n
