Polar Bear
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are almost wholly carnivorous, and live mainly within the Arctic Circle. Adult males can grow up to 3 metres in length, and weigh up to 700 kg.
Although their fur is white (this one has been rolling on the soil, hence the browny tinge), their skin is actually black, which assists heat absorption.
