Polar bears typically move slowly and methodically and like to walk on patches of snow better than slippery ice.
Claws. Polar bear claws are thick and curved, sharp and strong. Each can measure more than two inches (5.1 centimeters) long. Bears use their claws to catch and hold prey—and to provide traction on the ice.
Ears and Tails. Polar bears' ears are small and round and their tails are short and compact. This helps bears conserve heat.
