White Polar Bear Snowflake Stickers

Here are some trivia facts about polar bears: Skin colour: Polar bears' skin is black, and their hairs are transparent and pigment-free. Their coat appears white because it reflects and scatters visible light. Classification: Polar bears are classified as marine mammals because they spend most of their lives on sea ice. Swimming: Polar bears can swim up to 6 miles per hour and have been known to swim more than 60 miles without rest. Fasting: Polar bears have evolved one of the longest fasting periods of any animal because their habitat vanishes for a few months every year. Fat: Polar bears' fat acts as a nutritional reserve and energy storage system when food can't be found. It also increases their buoyancy when they swim. Cubs: Polar bear cubs weigh a mere 1 pound (.45 kilograms) at birth. They are hairless and have their eyes closed. Footpads: Polar bears have black footpads with small, soft bumps called papillae that grip the ice and keep the bear from slipping.
