This article from National Geographic Little Kids discusses the unique feet of snowshoe hares that allow them to live in snowy environments. The hares have furry and webbed feet, which keep their paws warm and prevent them from sinking into deep snow. Their big feet help them escape from predators, and their strong toes enable them to reach their food in tall bushes. The article also mentions other animals with special feet for walking on snow, such as polar bears, Arctic foxes, willow ptarmigans, and snow leopards. [Extracted from the article]

POLAR BEAR + GRIZZLY BEAR PIZZLY BEAR According to a First Nations legend, Raven turned one out of every 10 bears white to remind people of a time when Earth was covered by ice. Spirit bears are Kermode bears, a subspecies of black bear. This gene for white hair can be passed from parent to cub, which is why sometimes one Kermode bear cub has black fur but its sibling will be a white spirit bear. [Extracted from the article]

The article explores what happens to polar bears if pack ice which serves as both their home and hunting ground begins to melt. When pack ice melts earlier, polar bears swim from a chunk of floating ice to another until they made it safely back to shore. However, the author states that it would be impossible for these animals to swim back to the shore if the ice melts on rougher seas and the chunks of ice have greater distances between them.

The article reveals the impact of global warming on Arctic ice. Global warming is a worldwide rise in average temperature. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as most other places. As a result, ice is melting. In one recent year, the Arctic lost ice the size of Texas. Each year, the ice thins earlier in spring. It breaks apart sooner too. The pieces, called ice floes, are getting smaller. These changes mean trouble for animals. Polar bears are an example of what is happening.

The article focuses on the polar bears of Wapusk National Park, on Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. The area's biological diversity is huge. But a warming climate is shrinking the bay's ice; without it, polar bears cannot hunt. The national park's 2.8 million acres include coastal marsh, spruce forest, tidal flats and peatlands. Environmental changes are happening so quickly that one day the bay may not be able to support the bears. Fewer cubs are surviving to adulthood.

This article presents information on polar bears. To withstand the subzero temperatures, snow-covered landscapes, and day after day without sun, polar bears need to put all 1,500 pounds of their muscle, bone, and body fat to good use. When walking or running, a polar bear expends more than twice the energy used by most other mammals. Their fat, called blubber, works like a fleece vest--it insulates bodies from the frosty air and near-freezing water. The four-inch-thick blubber also serves as a well-stocked kitchen. It is a harsh fact of Arctic life that adult males sometimes kill and eat polar bear cubs, so mother bears are very protective.
