The Colossal squid has the biggest eye of all animals.

It lives in cold waters such as near new zealand and Antarctica,

and even the very south of Africa. ( that is why I put it in the polar region

category.)

The ends of the tentacles feature extremely sharp hooks.

They also have a longer mantle than most types of squid out there.

Strangely, the female is bigger than a male colossal squid,

like an anglerfish.

We believe that they are loners in the water and

that they eat large volumes of food daily.

The walrus is a large flippered marine mammal with a pair of a foot long tusks.

Adult walruses are easily recognized by their prominent tusks, whiskers, and bulkiness.

They can weigh more than 2,000 kg (4,400 lb), and have blubber one inch thick.

Many arctic civilizations hunted the walrus for its tusks, fat, skin, meat, and bone.

During the 19th century and the early 20th century,

the population of walruses dropped rapidly all around the Arctic region.

Since then, the population has risen again, and they are protected.

Harp Seals are cute animals that live in the coldest polar regions.

They are yellowish-white and furry when they are young, but as soon as they are older, they somehow lose their fur and become silvery-grey.

They have four flippers and a tail.

They swim by putting their back flippers and tail together and moving them up and down.

They are 140 to 190kg in weight, and grow up to 1.7 to 2.0cm.

Sadly, Harp Seals are hunted for food, it happens in late march in the Gulf of St.Lawrence.

This is a video about Harp Seals.

The Polar Bear is the largest land predator in the world.

It only lives in the North Pole.

You may not know, but a Polar Bear can actually swim!

The Polar Bear has blubber (layer of fat) and fur to keep it warm.

The Polar Bear eats a large variety of things. They mainly feed on Ringed and Bearded seals. They also eat harp and hooded seals, Beluga whales, walruses, Narwhals e.t.c.

A male adult Polar Bear is called a boar and a female adult Polar Bear is called a sow.
