- Đáp án:

Polar bears are large carnivorous mammals that are native to the Arctic regions. They are the largest land predator and can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh up to 1,500 pounds. Their fur is white, which helps them blend in with their snowy surroundings, and their skin is black, which helps them absorb the sun's heat.

Polar bears are well adapted to their cold environment. They have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm, and their fur is water-repellent to keep them dry. They are excellent swimmers and can swim for long distances in the icy water.

Polar bears are also very patient hunters. They often wait by a seal's breathing hole in the ice, waiting for it to surface so they can grab it with their powerful jaws. They are also known to hunt other prey, such as walruses and beluga whales.

Unfortunately, polar bears are facing many challenges due to climate change. As the Arctic ice melts, it becomes harder for them to find food and habitat, and their populations are declining. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these magnificent animals and their fragile ecosystem.
