Weight, Strength, and Speed of a Polar Bear

Polar Bears are one of the most strongest animals on earth! This really strong animal has a powerful bite of 1200 psi, the strongest bite among all bear species. This animals large size contributes to how strong their bite is and what makes them the most deadly animal among all bear species on earth. The largest polar bear scientists have recorded had a height around 11 feet and weighed more than 2000 pounds! On the average, male polar bears weigh between 700 to 1500 pounds, but females are much smaller and only weigh from 330 to 650 pounds. The height of a polar bear varies around 5.9 to 10 feet tall, which towers all other bear species around the world. The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (which is 3.4 miles per hour). When a polar bear is getting chased or is chasing prey, they can run as fast as 40 kph, (which is 25 miles per hour), in short distances.

Food and Habitat of a Polar Bear

Polar Bears typically live in the Artic, on ice-covered waters. Why polar bears typically rely on ice-covered waters is because they rely on it to access their primary source of food, which are seals. We divide the polar bear population into 19 units or subpopulations. around 60% of the subpopulations are located in Canada. Compared with other bear species like the brown bear or the grizzly bear, polar bears are mostly carnivorous. While other bears species live in habitats with access with mostly fruit, berries, grass, and other plant life, polar bears have access to only the artic food sources. Polar bears only eat plants when their are food shortages, which plants make a small amount of their diet. Polar Bears typically eat Seals, Narwhals, Reindeer, Fish, Eggs, Kelp, Shellfish, and more. Seals are Polar Bears most favorite food, but this food source does not always come out ready available. When Polar Bears are hungry, they just hunt any animal they come across.

Endangered Polar Bears

Polar bears are not endangered but have been slowly losing their population. Polar Bears are listed as a threatened species and will continue to decline if their threats are not solved. Climate change and habitat loss is the main reason polar bears are declining in numbers. Polar Bears are one of the many animals that is affected by climate changes, and they will lose in their numbers if the earth continues to get warmer. All the 19 subpopulations where polar bears live have been getting affected by the melting of ice in their habitat. Around 22,000 to 31,000 polar bears are alive today as they are the kings of their habitat in population.

Polar Bears are pretty fierce, fast and is a pretty cool animal, but their numbers in population will continue to decline as the earth gets warmer. Now, do you think polar bears are cool animals? If I were you, I would say polar bears are one of the most coolest animals I have ever seen

How strong Elephants are

Even though some elephants live half as much as human’s, if you go close to them they can break all your bones in just one shot! But that is not just for humans, they can even break lion’s or hyena’s bones in a few shots!

Food and Habitat

You can see that Elephants are everywhere, but they mostly range from the south of Asia to the north of Africa. Elephants mostly prefer rain forests or scrub forests but as you may be thinking they also live in the savannah. Elephants mostly eat nuts, fruits, tree bark, veggies, leaves, and more.

Weight and Speed

Because Elephants are huge, tall and they keep eating they weigh three times as a car! which means they weight 12,000 pounds. Elephants can run at speeds of 30 miles per hour.

Population

There are about 500,000 Elephants living in the world right now. Because people kill them for their tusks to make famous art crafts or even for fun which is a bad thing, also people destroy their habitats for building new places. I will explain more below.

Explaining more- how many Elephants are living?

USA-0 Asia- 40,000 Africa- 415,000 South America- about 100 Europe- extinct Australia- about 30 Antarctica-0

Food

3 Revisions

Cheetahs are solitary hunters and fast animals that they can eat stuff like Wildebeest, Gazelle, Hare, Antelope, Mice, Fish, all these animals and you may be wondering if they can eat stuff like giraffes well cheetahs reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour and giraffes are stronger animals than cheetahs, so they are built for speed not strength.

Habitat

Cheetahs live in Grasslands and Savannah’s so you can tell that they live in parts of the United States and parts of Africa because United States has lots of grasslands and Africa has lots of Savannah’s.

Population

Cheetahs are very low in population because people burn their habitats so they can grow food on farms, and they will build stuff. People also do poaching so they can make stuff.

Weight/Speed

Cheetahs are fast animals and reach speeds of ( 70 miles per hour), cheetahs are the fastest land animal on earth. Cheetahs weight is around (46-160 lbs).

Food

Tigers are the largest cats in the world so that means… you guessed it, needs a lot of meat to stay healthy. Tigers hunt deer, elk, wild boar, buffaloes, crocodiles, and more. and they can also hunt for smaller prey such as monkeys, fish, hares, birds, ground based birds such as ducks, amphibians, and more.

Habitat

Siberian tigers live in the northern parts of Asia, but they are cold places such as many places in Russia, Bengal tigers live in southern Asia such as places in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, China, Bhutan, and more.

Population

Tigers are dying because humans do poaching for a few reasons like for keeping them in a zoo, and for decorations (fur and nails), stuff like that. And people tear down forests so they can build homes for humans which is harmful for tigers and different animals it is so sad.

So if you compare both tables you can tell that there are more Bengal tigers (also known as Indian tiger) and there are less Amur tigers (also known as Siberian tiger) left in the wild.

Food

Lions are carnivores which means they eat meat. Their diet contains antelope, zebra, giraffe, elephant, hippopotamus, rhino, crocodiles, wild dogs, cheetahs, buffaloes, leopards, wild hogs, birds, reptiles, and more.

Habitat

Lions live in parts of Central and South Africa. Lions and other animals don not live in North Africa because there are deserts around there. A smaller population also lives around the south of Asia.

The cat family

Lions are a group of the cat family. Here are a few more animals that are part of the cat family.

Weight/speed

A lion or the king of the jungle maximum speed is is 35mph. As fast as a normal Giraffe. You can lift a cub, But when it comes to adults, you won’t even lift a lion by yourself or with a group to help!

Population of lions are getting hurt

Population of lions is getting hurt because… if you guessed humans, that is correct. At least 90% of the time, humans are killing animals, destroying their habits so they could build houses for humans.
