Which Bear Are You?

When you are happy, you light up the world. Everyone watches you because you’re an exciting, creative and adventurous creature. But you are also more sensitive than some realise, and feel deeply. If you get sad or lonely sometimes, remember that you are loved and worthy of love, and things will get better.


Information about polar bears

Polar bears are found in the wild in Canada, Russia, Norway, Greenland, and the US (in Alaska). They are carnivorous and feed on seals. Polar bears have adapted to stay warm in freezing temperatures, and have a layer of underfur topped by guard hairs. Each strand of guard hair is transparent and reflects light from the environment – which is why, in snowy places, polar bears appear white. These magnificent animals are threatened by climate change as their habitat and hunting grounds are shrinking as the ice melts. The World Wildlife Fund has listed polar bears as vulnerable because their numbers are decreasing. To help polar bears, here are a few simple things you can do:

• Recycle!
• Turn off lights, computers, and other electronic devices when you’re not using them.
• Don’t leave your mobile charging when it’s already at 100%.
• When you can, walk, ride a bike, or use public transport instead of driving.
