Polar Bear The largest land carnivore, polar bears are found throughout the Arctic and are the most nomadic of all bear species. They travel an average of 5,500 miles a year or 15 miles a day. Their range is limited by the availability of sea ice that they use as a platform to hunt seal, the mainstay of their diet. Adult males can weigh up to 1200 lbs and can stand up to 11’ tall. A polar bear's nose and skin are black and the fur is translucent despite its apparent white hue. Unlike other arctic mammals, polar bears never shed their coat for a darker shade in the summer. They are excellent swimmers and can often be seen in open waters miles from land. Wildlife artist Kathie Miller has captured this magnificent bear with the airbrush.
