The polar bear is a very endangered species.
The polar bear is large and has thick white fur. Its eyes are small and not conspicuous. The polar bear's ears are also small and raised. Its nose is black and is above its mouth. Males are 2.4-3 m long, and females are 1.8-2.4 m long. The male is 1.3 m tall, and female is 1.8-2.4 m tall.
Polar bears live in the North Pole. They eat the fish they catch themselves. They weigh about 450 kg.
The polar bear is very good at hunting and swimming. It lives for about 20 years.
These animals are interesting because they manage to survive at very low temperatures and because they live in places where there are no conditions for that.

One of my favourite species and the most interesting animals are wolves. They are national wild animals.
Wolves are very similar to dogs. They can have different colours of their fur which depends on where they live. Colour of their fur is usually a shade of brown or grey mixed with yellow. They have an excellent sense of hearing and smell.
They can live in different places and locations. They live in the forests and in the mountains. They are predators, which means their main food is meat.
