Polar bears are the largest land carnivores and live primarily in the Arctic regions of Canada, Alaska, Russia, Greenland, and Norway. They have white fur to help camouflage themselves in snow when hunting seals, whales, and other prey. Polar bears are threatened by climate change as melting ice caps force them to swim longer distances between land masses.
