The Polar BearPolar Bears, also known as “Sea Bears,” are adorable. But beware,

these animals are the LARGEST of all the bears. They can weigh up

to 1,700 pounds (771 kg) and can grow up to 11 feet (3.4 m) tall.

These bears are very smart hunters and excellen

t swimmers.

The

NorTh Pole

The

North Pole

is part of the Arctic region. In the

Arctic, there is a day in June when

the sun shines all day and all night.

There is also a day in

December when it’s

dark all day and

all night.

Would your family ever take a summer vacation

to the North Pole? Probably not. You could

probably think of a few reasons not to go

to the North Pole for summer vacation. It

is very, very cold and very, very far away!

How cold is it?

The average temperatures in the

Arctic Circle range from -30°F (-34°C)

during the winter up to 60°F (16°C)

during the summer. Since a layer

of soil is frozen all year long

(permafrost), only a limited variety

of plants and animals can survive

in this region.

Several people groups live in the Arctic region.

Most of these people were born in the Arctic. They

have learned to live in harsh conditions, and many

of them earn their money by fishing, hunting,

and trapping animals for the fur. A lot of what

they eat comes from right where they live. They

eat fish, whale, seal, caribou, native plants, and

other things. In the winter there are a lot of fun

things to do like hockey, sliding, skating, sledding,

snowboarding, skiing, and playing in the snow …

but you sure need to bundle up!

Winter … For many, it’s great time to

cuddle up by the fireplace or under a big blanket.

Read a book together and enjoy the safe warmth

God has provided us in our homes!

Bears were created

by God on Day 6 about

6,000 years ago. That’s

when God made all

kinds of land animals.

Hey Buddy!

How did the people get to the arctic?

Well, it all goes back to the Tower of Babel! Their

ancestors eventually moved here after God

confused the languages of the grandchildren of

Noah about 4,200 years ago! You can read more

about the Tower of Babel in the Bible, Genesis 11.
