The polar bear is one of the largest omnivorous bears in the world and it is roughly the size of the omnivorous Kodiak bear. The average male in the species can weigh as much as 1,534 lbs and has varying body characteristics compared other similar species that have adapted for its life in the colder Arctic regions of the world.

Particularly, the polar bears body has evolved to accommodate moving its large frame across the snow, ice, and open sea. Although born on land, most polar bears spend the majority of their time swimming in the open ocean between nearby landmasses or ice shelves. Polar bears mainly persist on seals attacked along the edges of ice shelves.
