Question

Do polar bears live/Are polar bears living only in the Arctic?

Answer 1

Ответ:

Білий ведмідь має циркумполярний ареал у Північному Льодовитому океані та на його узбережжях. Його розповсюдження на північ обмежене лінією постійної пакової криги, де майже не буває ополонок; найпівденнішим місцем, де зустрічали білого ведмедя, є затока Джеймс у Канаді.

Answer 2

Polar bears are primarily found in the Arctic region, and they are specially adapted to survive in this harsh environment. They are known to inhabit areas around the Arctic Ocean, including the Arctic Circle, Arctic coastal regions, sea ice, and adjacent landmasses. These bears are well-suited to the extreme cold, sea ice, and marine ecosystems of the Arctic, where they primarily hunt seals.

While polar bears are most commonly associated with the Arctic, they can occasionally wander southward into subarctic regions, especially in search of food. However, their primary range and habitat are in the Arctic, and they are considered an iconic species of this polar environment. The conservation of polar bears is closely linked to the health of the Arctic ecosystem and the preservation of sea ice, which is crucial for their hunting and survival.
