Fun and Interesting Facts about
Polar Bears

Female Polar Bears & Polar Bear Cubs

Polar bear cubs learn to freeze and remain still while their mother hunts. If they move, the mother disciples them, with a whack to the head.	Female polar bears would rather build their dens in "old snow" from previous years rather than the freshly fallen snow.	Some female polar bears deviate from the one room den. They build dens with multiple rooms and even a ventilation system in the roof.
Adult females often weigh between 500 and 600 pounds (227 and 272 kilograms).

Paw pads with rough surfaces help prevent polar bears from slipping up on the ice.	Only humans prey or hunt polar bears	Polar bears swim using their large front paws to propel themselves through the water and their back legs to steer.
