Polar Bears only live where it is very cold around the Arctic Region. The only exception are those that live in captivity within zoos around the world. They have been able to adapt to the warmer climate very well in such locations. This is why many experts believe they were isolated to the Arctic millions of years ago due to environmental changes rather than being there out of necessity.
They are solitary animals, with bodies designed to handle the extremely cold weather. They are fascinating animals to watch too. They evolved from Brown Bears more than 38 million years ago, and now there are 19 species of them known in the world. They main food source for Polar Bears are various species of seals. These bears spend most of their life in the water.
