The largest land predator on earth is the polar bear. Who is oshkuy

The white polar bear, or, as it is also called, the sea bear, is a typical inhabitant of the Arctic. It inhabits the ice expanses and islands of the Polar Basin up to the northern coasts of Siberia and North America. Polar bears live in the so-called Arctic "ring of life" - a giant belt in which the largest polynyas are located and there are a huge number of marine animals. Polar bear is the largest predator on our planet. The body length of an adult male can reach three meters, and weight - up to one ton. The height at the withers is more than one and a half meters. True, female polar bears are much smaller and usually weigh 200–300 kilograms. The smallest bears are found in Svalbard, the largest - in the Bering Sea.
Oshkuy differs from other bears in its long neck and flat head. Interestingly, the skin of the polar bear is black, and the color of the fur varies from white to yellowish. Zoologists suggest that the yellowness of the fur appears with constant exposure to sunlight. There is no pigmentation in the bear's fur itself, and the hairs are hollow and have the ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, which protects the animal from overheating in the sun. Sometimes the hair of a polar bear becomes greenish in color - this is due to the fact that microscopic algae start up inside the hairs. Usually such a "repainting" occurs in a hot climate (when kept in zoos and zoos).
The "fur coat" of the polar bear is very thick and dense, it protects well from the cold and, in addition, is saturated with grease, which prevents the wool from getting wet in water. The soles of the paws of the beast are also covered with wool. All polar bears have a thick layer under their skin. subcutaneous fat, also saving from hypothermia.
On the front paws of the polar bear, membranes are located between the fingers, allowing the beast to swim quite long distances. There are cases when polar bears traveled more than fifty kilometers in search of food, while constantly being in icy water. Moreover, they can swim with a huge speed for their mass - about 12 kilometers per hour. But usually these predators prefer another way of moving - on ice floes that have broken off from fast ice.
Standing idle for days on its ice floe, the animal periodically rises on its hind legs and carefully examines the pieces of ice floating nearby in search of seals, walruses, seals and other marine animals. Having found prey, the bear silently slides into the water and carefully swims up to its prey so that only the eyes and nose are visible on the surface. If the ice field is large and it is necessary to make a land flight at dinner, then the bear will lie on its belly and slowly crawl up to the potential victim from the leeward side, covering its eyes and nose with one paw - the only black spots that are clearly visible on a white background and are able to give it away predator.
The polar bear finishes its prey with one blow of a powerful paw, armed with huge, non-retractable claws. At one time, an adult beast is able to eat up to 20 kilograms of meat.
If there is little prey, then the bear will not disdain carrion, eggs or chicks, and in places inhabited by humans it can delve into garbage pits. In accordance with annual changes, the polar bear makes annual migrations: in summer it retreats to the pole, and in winter it moves south, even going to the mainland, but still prefers to stay on the ice or on the coast. But the polar bear's lair, intended for hibernation, can be found both on the polar islands and in the depths of the mainland - fifty kilometers from the coast. True, long hibernation, the duration of which is fifty to eighty days, only pregnant females lie. Males and single females go into hibernation for a short time, and even then not every year. Polar bears have a very low breeding potential, with a female giving birth for the first time at four to eight years of age. A female bear gives birth no more than once every two or three years and has one to three cubs in a litter. Throughout her life, the female can bring no more than fifteen cubs. Moreover, the mortality among newborns reaches 30%.

THE LARGEST LAND PREDATOR ON EARTH - POLAR BEAR

The polar bear reaches 3 m in length, and it weighs 800–1000 kg. The soles of the bear's paws are covered with wool so that it is not slippery on the ice. The polar bear lives in the Arctic, on the ice by the sea, and is found almost in North Pole. It feeds on fish and marine animals. White wool helps the bear to be invisible in the snow. He even covers his black nose with his paw so as not to stand out among white snow. The bear has a very good sense of smell: it smells its “lunch” at a distance of 15–20 km. It is believed that the polar bear has no enemies among animals. Its main enemy is man. A nimble and stealthy predator, the polar bear will stop at nothing to satisfy its hunger, even if it means risking its life to do so.

All year round, bears are associated with drifting and landfast sea ice, where they hunt seals - ringed seals, as well as bearded seals. Pregnant females lie in dens for up to six months, in some years male bears remain on land for several weeks. Most of their life is spent in roaming, which is associated with the search for open water and food. The bear hunts with a clawed paw. The shaggy fur of a bear, soaked in fat, does not get wet in water. A thick layer of subcutaneous fat protects from the cold.

The polar bear has a low breeding potential: the female gives birth for the first time at the age of 4–8 years, gives birth once every three years and has 1–3 cubs in the litter; during life brings no more than 10-15 cubs. At birth, the bear cub weighs up to 500 g, but after two months - 10 kg. Mortality among cubs is 10–30%. The decline in the number of the animal is associated with the poaching of bears, as well as pesticide poisoning and water pollution with oil produced on the shelves. Warming in the Arctic is also not good for the polar bear - the edge of the floating ice is sometimes too far from the coast.

AT vivo the polar bear lives for about 19 years, with a maximum of 25–30 years.

To track the movements of polar bears, radio beacons are used, but only female bears wear a collar with a transmitter. In males, the neck is thicker than the head, and the collar does not rest on it.

HUNGER BEARS STARTED EATING THEIR LIKE

Polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea are turning into cannibals as a long absence of ice makes it impossible for them to reach their natural food, according to a new study by US and Canadian scientists. The researchers observed three polar bears in northern Alaska and western Canada hunting their polar bears between January and April 2004. As a result, the first case of killing a female bear, who gave birth shortly before this cub, was recorded.

Polar bears feed mainly on seals, and the sea ice serves them necessary condition for hunting, mating and birth of cubs. Usually, the "kings of the Arctic" kill each other only during the struggle for females. Killing for food is less common, said study co-author Stephen Amstrap of the US Geological Science Center in Alaska.

“In 24 years of polar bear research in the southern Beaufort Sea region of northern Alaska and 34 years in northwestern Canada, we have not documented any instances of polar bears hunting, killing and eating other polar bears,” the scientist said.

However, in January 2004, scientists encountered the first such case. The male bear attacked someone else's lair, killed the female and, dragging her a few tens of meters away, ate part of the body. “The predatory bear broke through the roof of the den, grabbed the female and inflicted numerous bites on the head and neck. When the den collapsed, two cubs died under the rubble of snow,” the study says.

In April 2004, while examining bear tracks on sea ​​ice near Herschel Island, scientists discovered the partially eaten body of an adult bear. The tracks indicated that she was with a cub. A few days later, Canadian researchers found the remains of a one-year-old bear that had been killed by a predatory bear.

Defenders environment they say it's all consequences global warming, which could lead to the extinction of polar bears by the end of the century. Environmentalists have asked the US government to include polar bears on the list of endangered species.

The largest land predator on the planet needs floating ice from which it hunts seals. Already today, Canadian bears living in Hudson Bay are beginning to feel the effects of climate change. Every 10 years the area arctic ice reduced by 9%. By the middle of this century, experts believe, there may be no ice left in this region in the summer.

British polar expert Dr. Peter Wadhams of the University of Cambridge believes that the future of these predators is unenviable if they do not change their culinary habits. “It could be that polar bears are adapting to new environments, like the brown bears in Alaska who adapted to mountain stream salmon and terrestrial prey,” he says.

POLAR BEAR

Who hasn't seen a polar bear? In zoos, he is an ordinary guest. There is no need to describe what it looks like. We only recall that he only has a black nose, the bear itself is white both in winter and in summer (and not like, say, an arctic fox or a white hare - they are only white in winter). The soles of the paws of the polar bear are overgrown with thick hair, and the fingers are connected by swimming membranes for about half of their length.

Polar bears swim and dive perfectly. Two minutes can stay under water, but they rarely dive deeper than two meters into it. Far in the open sea, polar bears have been seen more than once, even she-bears with cubs. They swim at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour, not worrying that neither land nor ice is visible anywhere near.

The polar bear catches seals not only on the ice, stealthily creeping up to them. His usual method, so to speak, of an attack from the sea is as follows: near the seal rookeries, the bear carefully, without splashing and noise, slides into the water, swims to where he noticed the seals. Then he silently dives and emerges already at the very rookery, quickly climbs onto the ice, thereby cutting off the seals' path to saving water. On sheer ice walls, a bear can jump straight out of the water onto an ice floe, even if its height above the water is two meters.

Seals are the main hunting prey of the polar bear in spring. It catches and eats about 50 seals per year. In summer, the menu is more varied. He catches fish in shallow water, on the shore - lemmings, arctic foxes, feasts on bird eggs. When hungry, eats berries, algae, mosses, lichens, mushrooms.

The polar bear is the most powerful of the land predatory animals. The lion and the tiger are lightweight in comparison: the average weight of female bears is 310 kilograms, and that of male bears is 420 kilograms. If the bear is seasoned and well-fed, then it can weigh a whole ton!

Dolphin*

Have you ever seen dolphins? Dolphin is a mysterious animal on our planet. The intelligence of this sea ​​dweller He is considered so tall that he is called the "man of the sea". The shiny bodies of dolphins resemble drops in their shape. The muzzle is elongated into a narrow beak, the nostrils are merged into one "drawbar", from which the animal can release a fountain of spray two meters high. The tail of dolphins, unlike fish, is located horizontally.

"People of the Sea" became famous as tireless companions of ships. They were often seen escorting ships to the open sea. Dolphins can swim at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, no one in the sea swims faster than them. The fastest dolphin is the common dolphin.

Dolphins are not fish, but mammals. They feed their young with milk and breathe not with gills, but with lungs. They often need to come up out of the water to breathe. Dive into the water usually no longer than 3 minutes.

Dolphins are found in many seas and oceans of the world. A dolphin eats up to 30 kilograms of live fish per day. Dolphins always hunt in packs. They catch up with a school of fish and surround it. Then they push the fish to the very shallow water and eat it there.

A dolphin lives for about 50 years. Average weight they are 500 kilograms. A beluga whale can weigh up to 940 kilograms. Baby dolphins are born about once every two years.

At this time, the dolphin is trying to jump high so that the cub can take its first breath. Dolphins are very touching parents who take care of their cubs for about 5 years.

Dolphins can make various sounds - whistling, clicking, barking, moaning, screeching, grunting, meowing, chirping and others. A dull lingering whistle followed by a high and melodic one means that the dolphin is calling for help. When dolphins get angry, they bark!

Bear is the most large predator on the ground. This animal belongs to the class of mammals, carnivorous order, bear family, bear genus (lat. Ursus). The bear appeared on the planet about 6 million years ago and has always been a symbol of power and strength.

Bear - description, characteristics, structure. What does a bear look like?

Depending on the species, the body length of a predator can vary from 1.2 to 3 meters, and the weight of a bear varies from 40 kg to a ton. The body of these animals is large, stocky, with a thick, short neck and a large head. Powerful jaws make it easy to gnaw both plant and meat food. The limbs are rather short and slightly curved. Therefore, the bear walks, swaying from side to side, and rests on the entire foot. The speed of a bear in moments of danger can reach 50 km / h. With the help of large and sharp claws, these animals extract food from the ground, tear apart prey and climb trees. Many bear species are good swimmers. The polar bear has a special membrane between the fingers for this. The life expectancy of a bear can reach 45 years.

Bears do not have sharp eyesight and well-developed hearing. This is offset by a great sense of smell. Sometimes animals stand on their hind legs in order to obtain information about the environment with the help of scent.

thick bear fur, covering the body, has a different color: from reddish-brown to black, white in polar bears or black and white in pandas. Species with dark fur turn gray and gray in old age.

Does a bear have a tail?

Yes, but only the giant panda has a noticeable tail. In other species, it is short and almost indistinguishable in the fur.

Types of bears, names and photos.

In the bear family, zoologists distinguish 8 species of bears, which are divided into many different subspecies:

Brown bear (common bear) (lat. Ursus arctos). The appearance of a predator of this species is typical for all representatives of the bear family: a powerful body, rather high at the withers, a massive head with rather small ears and eyes, a short, slightly noticeable tail, and large paws with very powerful claws. torso brown bear covered with dense wool with a brownish, dark gray, reddish color, which varies from the habitat of the "clubfoot". Baby bear cubs often have large light tan marks on the chest or in the neck area, although these marks disappear with age.

The distribution area of ​​the brown bear is wide: it is found in the mountain systems of the Alps and on the Apennine Peninsula, is common in Finland and the Carpathians, feels comfortable in Scandinavia, Asia, China, in the northwestern United States and in Russian forests.

Polar (white) bear (lat. Ursus maritimus). It is the largest representative of the family: its body length often reaches 3 meters, and its mass can exceed one ton. It has a long neck and a slightly flattened head - this distinguishes it from its counterparts in other species. The color of the bear's fur is from boiling white to slightly yellowish, the hairs inside are hollow, therefore they give the bear's "fur coat" excellent thermal insulation properties. The soles of the paws are densely “lined” with tufts of coarse wool, which allows the polar bear to easily move on the ice cover without slipping. Between the toes of the paws there is a membrane that facilitates the process of swimming. The habitat of this species of bears is the polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

Baribal (black bear) (lat. Ursus americanus). The bear is a bit like a brown relative, but differs from it in its smaller size and blue-black fur. The length of an adult baribal does not exceed two meters, and the female bear is even smaller - their body usually has a length of 1.5 meters. pointed muzzle, long paws, ending with fairly short feet - this is what this representative of the bears is remarkable for. By the way, baribals can become black only by the third year of life, at birth getting a gray or brownish color. The habitat of the black bear is vast: from the expanses of Alaska to the territories of Canada and hot Mexico.

Malayan bear (biruang)(lat. Helarctos malayanus). The most "miniature" species among its bear counterparts: its length does not exceed 1.3-1.5 meters, and the height at the withers is slightly more than half a meter. This type of bear has a stocky build, a short, rather wide muzzle with small, round ears. The paws of the Malayan bear are high, while large, long feet with huge claws look a little disproportionate. The body is covered with short and very hard black-brown fur, the chest of the animal is “adorned” with a white-red spot. The Malayan bear lives in the southern regions of China, in Thailand and Indonesia.

White-breasted (Himalayan) bear(lat. Ursus thibetanus). slim physique Himalayan bear not too different large sizes- this representative of the family is two times smaller than the brown relative: the male has a length of 1.5-1.7 meters, while the height at the withers is only 75-80 cm, the females are even smaller. The body of a bear, covered with shiny and silky hair of dark brown or black color, is crowned by a head with a pointed muzzle and large round ears. An obligatory "attribute" of the appearance of the Himalayan bear is a spectacular white or yellowish spot on the chest. This species of bears lives in Iran and Afghanistan, is found in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, in Korea, Vietnam, China and Japan, feels at ease in the open spaces Khabarovsk Territory and in the south of Yakutia.

spectacled bear (lat. Tremarctos ornatus). Medium-sized predator - length 1.5-1.8 meters, height at the withers from 70 to 80 cm. The muzzle is short, not too wide. The wool of a spectacled bear is shaggy, has a black or black-brown hue, around the eyes there are always white-yellow rings, smoothly turning into a whitish "collar" of fur on the animal's neck. The habitat of this species of bears is the country South America: Colombia and Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, Venezuela and Panama.

Gubach (lat. Melursus ursinus). A predator with a body length of up to 1.8 meters, at the withers, the height varies from 65 to 90 centimeters, females are about 30% smaller than males in both indicators. The trunk of the sloth is massive, the head is large, with a flat forehead and an overly elongated muzzle, which ends in mobile, completely devoid of hair, protruding lips. The bear's fur is long, usually black or dirty-brown in color, often forming a semblance of a shaggy mane in the neck of the animal. The chest of the sloth bear has a light spot. The habitat of this species of bears is India, some parts of Pakistan, Bhutan, the territory of Bangladesh and Nepal.

Giant panda (bamboo bear) (lat. Ailuropoda melanoleuca). This type bears has a massive, squat body, which is covered with dense, thick black and white fur. Paws are short, thick, with sharp claws and absolutely hairless pads: this allows the pandas to firmly hold the smooth and slippery bamboo stems. The structure of the front paws of these bears is very unusually developed: five ordinary fingers are complemented by a large sixth, although it is not a real finger, but is a modified bone. Such amazing paws enable the panda to easily manage the thinnest bamboo shoots. The bamboo bear lives in the mountainous regions of China, especially large populations live in Tibet and Sichuan.
