""..."(Daniel Howarth 2009)

I'm typing about Polar Bears. Polar Bears live near the North Pole. There is ice everywhere. North Pole is very cold, but polar bears stay warm. Their keeps them snug. Polar Bears are eat seal, fish and seaweed. But, some even walk into towns and hunt food in dumps. But they can live for months without any food at all. Their blubber gives them all the energy they need. Polar Bears are good at swimming. They paddle with their front paws, and steer with their back paws.Polar Bear's neck air is trapped in the bear's fur. This helps it float, just like a lifejacket. Also, Polar Bears shakes itself like a dog to dry off. Polar Bears paws have bumpy pads that grip the ice. This stops them from slipping.

In spring, polar bears get together to become parents. Sometimes male bears fight over female bears. They stand up to look big and scary, but they don't usually hurt each other. Polar Bear parents stay together for just a few days. Then, they set often on their own again. In the early winter, the female bears makes a den. This is a cave in the snow, where her cubs will be born. In the dead of winter, the mother gives birth to two or three.
