Polar Bears
1Polar bears live in the far north, where it is very cold. In winter, snow and ice cover much of the land and sea there.
2A polar bear has thick fur. Under its skin is a layer of fat. Fur and fat keep the bear warm.
3A polar bear has big, wide paws. Its paws help it walk on snow and ice. They also help it swim in cold water.
4A polar bear has a great nose. It can smell food from far away.

Picture 2: A polar bear swims in icy water. Only its head is above the water. Its front paws push the water back like paddles.
