Another week another
creature this weeks creature is the polar bear, which at 3m or 10ft
tall and weighing up to 1000kgs or 2200lb on its hind legs the polar
bear is the biggest most powerful carnivore to walk the land.
They also have some
powerful weapons in their enormous paws each up to 30cm or 12in
across, with five strong, sharp, curved claws. Its massive jaws have
long sharp teeth for slicing through the thick, blubbery skin of
seals which is its favourite food.
If it feels threatened
it will use its ferocious hunting skills to defend itself, no wonder
that whenever a polar bear wanders into an Arctic town a warning
goes out and people stay indoors.
They are nosy and
curious and like to investigate human settlements for food, once a
film crew were trapped inside a hut for several hours while a nosy
polar bear pressed its face up against the window.
Amazing creatures and beautiful to look at in photos.

Be that as it may, with tolerance and expanded aptitudes from playing the game, you'll become better and better at it. AAP KI NEWS
