Without a doubt, polar bears are some of the most astounding creatures that have ever graced our world. It’s truly amazing how these majestic animals manage to thrive in some of the harshest and coldest habitats on Earth. It’s common knowledge that polar bears, and particularly their young ones, exude an undeniable charm, but what’s lesser known is their high intelligence and creativity. In fact, research scientist Alison Ames suggests that polar bears could be as intelligent as certain types of apes. This intelligence is showcased in the strategic manner in which they chase down seals for food.
Intelligence aside, polar bears are arguably the largest of all bears and the most recognizable (it’s a huge white bear…you can’t miss them). Unfortunately, polar bear populations are currently declining and are considered to be vulnerable to climate changes. In fact, polar bears were the first vertebrate species to be listed by the U.S. Endangered Species Act as threatened by extinction. We hope that the more we learn about these amazing creatures, the more willing we would be to save them.
