===Did you know that polar bears are the largest carnivores living on land? Males can weigh between 750 and 1200 pounds! Females weigh between 350 and 700 pounds. A large male will stand 4 1/2 ft. tall at the shoulder and they would be about 9 ft. long. Females are a little smaller. Polar bears, like humans, have eyes on the front of their heads. Even though they cannot see in as many directions as other animals, they still have great eye sight which makes up for it. Polars bears, because of their size, have only one natural predator. This predator is the killer whale. Sure walruses are capable of killing polar bears but they don't always and they don't actually hunt polar bears. A polar bear's large feet help them stay above snow drifts and their skin is black to help attract heat. Did you know that the polar bear is the only white bear in the world? This makes them a one of a kind animal. They are truly magnificent animals.===
