The Polar bears are large, meat- eating
mammals. They are well adapted to their life
in the frozen tundra. They are powerful
swimmers. They hunt seals and some
walruses. They can run in speeds up to 25
mph. Females build snow dens where they
give birth to twins, and the male polar bears
do not hibernate.

Arctic Hare
Arctic Hares eat throughout the summer in places where the snow has been swept
away where they can reach their food easier. They blend in to the snow because of
their white fur. Their fur becomes gray-brown in summer to help them blend in with
the rocks and soil. They weigh from seven to twelve pounds. They eat woody plants,
mosses, berries, leaves, and bark. They are found near regions in Canada and
Newfoundland.

Caribou
The Caribou is a medium-sized relative of the deer. It lives in mountains, forests, and
the Canadian tundra. They migrate in huge herds across the tundra. They travel over
800 miles each year. Their life span is about 15 years when living in the wild. They
are about 4 feet tall and 6 feet long. Both males and females grow antlers. Their
antlers shed each year then are re-grown. Caribou have broad hooves and a wide
muzzle. Caribou are plant-eaters who spend most of their day eating grass, leaves
and other plant material.

The Arctic fox is a furry mammal. They live in the far north. They
live in the Tundra and the Coastal Plains of North America, Iceland,
Greenland, Scandinavia, and Siberia. A male fox is a reynard. A
female fox is a vixen and the baby fox is a kit.

Musk Ox
Musk oxen are long-haired, large, horned mammals. They are well
adapted to their cold surroundings. They can be found in Alaska,
Canada, Greenland, and some Arctic Islands. Males are larger than
the females and both genders have horns. They are herbivores that
graze on grasses, willow leaves, and some Arctic flowers. The musk
ox travel in herds, they protect their young from predators such as
wolves.

These penguins are called emperor penguins. These birds live in colonies
in Antarctica. They have shiny,waterproof feathers. They have almost 70
feathers per square inch of their body. Penguins lose their feathers and
grow them back each year. Their average weight is around 65 pounds for a
male. Males and females look very much alike. These creatures are meat
eaters, just like me.

Aren’t they cute! These fur-covered creatures are
called harp seals, but these are only pups. They
LOVE fish, unlike me. Seals, however, don’t
chew their food. They swallow it whole. They
have to be careful of killer whales, polar bears,
and people. I think it is disappointing that
something so cute has so many predators.

With these mammals, you snooze, you don’t
lose. You are just well energized. These 14
feet, 2,000 pound creatures are called
walruses. They get hungry an awful lot.
Sometimes, when they are so hungry, they
will eat a seal.
