Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) This bear was quite energetic. They kept walking out, lifting up their front left paw over their left leg, then turning around and heading back inside before repeating the cycle.<br />

The polar bear is a bear native largely within the Arctic Circle encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the world's largest land carnivore and also the largest bear, together with the omnivorous Kodiak Bear, which is approximately the same size. An adult male weighs around 350–680 kg, while an adult female is about half that size.
