Polar Bears / Los osos polares

With its thick fur and ability to dig dens, the polar bear can survive in freezing conditions with snow and ice. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal’s bumpy footpads and other parts of its anatomy, hunting and swimming habits, life cycle, and cub care. Its Arctic habitat is described, too. An American Indian myth explains why polar bears have short tails. Part of Creative Education’s popular Amazing Animals series, this bilingual edition supports elementary-aged dual language learners with side-by-side English and Spanish text, captions, on-page definitions, and an index.
