The polar bear, scientifically known as Ursus maritimus, is a hypercarnivorous bear primarily found within the Arctic Circle, spanning the Arctic Ocean, its adjacent seas, and surrounding landmasses. It is the largest bear species and the largest land carnivore. Adult males typically weigh between 350 to 700 kilograms, while females are about half that size. Despite being closely related to the brown bear, the polar bear has adapted to a more specialized ecological niche, with physical traits suited for cold environments, traversing snow, ice, and open water, and hunting seals, which constitute the majority of its diet.
Although polar bears are born on land, they predominantly live on sea ice, earning their scientific name, which translates to “maritime bear.” They hunt seals from the edges of sea ice and rely on fat reserves when ice is scarce. Due to their dependence on sea ice, polar bears are categorized as marine mammals.
Polar bears are classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss caused by climate change. While unregulated hunting once threatened their survival, conservation efforts have helped populations recover. For centuries, polar bears have held cultural, spiritual, and material significance for Arctic communities, and they continue to play an important role in these cultures. Historically, they have been referred to as “white bears” or “nanook,” derived from the Inuit term nanuq.
The documentary highlights the life, challenges, and significance of polar bears, offering a captivating look into their Arctic habitat.
