Polar bear week is from October 30^th to November 5^th. Polar bears are big white hypercarnivores bears who depend on the ocean for food and habitat.

They have seen many moms with cubs and have hope for future generations of polar bears.

It is said that polar bears evolved from brown bears around 1 million years ago. Around 1774 Commander C.J. Phipps came up with polar bears instead of calling them ‘Ursus Maritimus’.
