As well as their thick fur, they have a layer of fat, called blubber, that insulates (protects) their bodies from the frosty air and near-freezing water. Polar bears also have <strong>black skin<\/strong> under their glistening coat, which helps them soak up the Sun\u2019s rays and keep warm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> These magnificent mammals have an incredible sense of smell which they use to track their favourite grub, seals*. In fact, their sense of smell is <em>so<\/em> good, they can <strong>sniff out prey from up to 16km away<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Polar-Bear-Facts-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-103673\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Polar-Bear-Facts-3.jpg\" alt=\"Polar Bear Facts\" width=\"635\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Polar-Bear-Facts-3.jpg 635w, https:\/\/cdn.creatureandcoagency.com\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Polar-Bear-Facts-3-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5)<\/strong> Despite their size and bulk, polar bears are excellent swimmers, and have been spotted in waters over <strong>100km offshore<\/strong>. They can comfortably swim at around <strong>10km\/h<\/strong> using their slightly webbed, 30cm wide paws like paddles in the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6)<\/strong> Although good swimmers, polar bears aren&#8217;t quick enough to reliably catch seals in open water. Instead, they depend on the ice as a hunting platform. They wait near <strong>seal breathing holes<\/strong> or at the ice\u2019s edge for a seal to surface. They then snatch it from the sea and&#8230;gulp!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Did you know that we have a FREE downloadable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/uk\/primary-resource\/polar-bear-primary-resource\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">polar bear primary resource<\/a>?&nbsp;Great for teachers, homeschoolers and parents alike!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>7)<\/strong> Did you know that a polar bear\u2019s fur isn\u2019t white?

The biggest threat to polar bears is <strong>climate change<\/strong>.
