Relaxed to the point of looking almost comical, a young polar bear is completely at ease in the sub-zero arctic weather. The bear's gentle appearance and playful nature belie the swiftly efficient predator hiding beneath soft fur. A true carnivore, the polar bear is adapted to a diet of pure meat, surviving by killing seals on the arctic ice.
