Polar Bears Get A Day

Over time, I have gathered

 a bunch of random

and highly interesting facts

about animals. 

The more I learn,

the more I become interested

 in the animals

we share our world with. 

In the classroom,

anything to do with animals

 will grab the kids attention –

and keep their attention! 

This makes me love animals

 that little bit more!

I have trouble naming

a favourite animal... 

It’s a big call...

But, in my top few,

sits the polar bear. 

Today is

International Polar Bear Day.

So...     facts:

They have black fur...

and hairy feet...

and an excellent sense of smell...

and paws that are 30cm wide...

Their hairs are hollow...

they have 42 teeth...

and they curl into the snow

to wait out a blizzard. 

Unlike mine, their ten centimetres

of blubber is a good thing!

Polar bears are cool – no doubt

(they live in some of the

coldest places on earth –

and yet, can overheat!). 

Sad fact –

they are very much threatened

by global warming

and climate change.

Happy Polar Bear Day
