Our science presenter will help you learn more about this iconic species from the Arctic ice pack.

The polar bear is one of the largest carnivores on the planet. Adapted to the extreme climate of the Arctic, it can survive temperatures close to -50°C.
Evolution has given this animal some surprising features:
- Transparent hair
- Significant layer of fat
- Exceptional sense of smell
