What kind of animal is it?

Polar bear is a very big bear that lives in the Arctic. Its whole body is pure white, and it lives on ice and snow. It is said to be the biggest meat-eating animal on Earth!

Why is its body pure white?

Polar bear's fur is actually see-through! It looks white because it reflects the light. Thanks to this white fur, it can blend into the surrounding snowy and icy landscape. This makes it hard for enemies to find it, and it can sneak up on prey without being noticed!

Why can it handle the cold so well?

Polar bear lives in the super cold Arctic, but the cold does not bother it at all!

• Thick layer of fat: It stores a lot of fat under its skin. This fat protects Polar bear from the cold, just like a magic blanket!
• Small ears and a short tail: Its ears and tail are small so that heat does not escape from its body.
• Fur: Its special waterproof fur keeps its body warm.

What does it eat?

Polar bear is a meat-eating animal that eats seals and walruses. It walks on the ice, finds holes where seals come up to breathe, and waits quietly!

How to Choose Colors: Let’s Paint White Really Well!

Since the Polar bear is a pure white animal, you might wonder, "How do I color it?" But if you show the white color well, it will look even cooler!

• White Parts: Leaving the whole body pure white is fine, but adding a little bit of light gray or light blue for "shadows" makes the white look even prettier.
• Face and Paws: Try carefully coloring the nose and eyes with black or dark brown. The Polar bear's claws are a dark color, aren't they?

How to Color for a 3D Look: Think About "Shadows" and "Light"!

Because the Polar bear is white, the way you color the "shadows" is super important!

• Places with Shadows: Try adding layers of light gray or light blue little by little under the body, where the legs meet the body, and on the lower parts of the face. Then, the body will look round and 3D!
• Places Where Light Hits: If you leave places where the light hits—like the middle of the back or the top of the head—without any color, it will look shiny!

Tips for Enjoying Your Coloring Page!

• Try Drawing a Background!
  • The Polar bear lives on the ice and snow in the Arctic. If you add snowy mountains, ice, or a blue sky to the background, it will look just like it is in the Arctic!
• Express Yourself Freely!
  • If you want to color more freely, it is fun to color a colorful Polar bear too. A rainbow-colored Polar bear would surely be cute!
