<Baby Reading Show>The Polar Bear

The Polar Bear The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle near the North Pole. There’re no polar bears at the South Pole. The polar bear lives in the snow and ice. At the North Pole, there’s only snow, ice and water. There’s not any land. People can not see the polar bear in the snow very well, because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat, because the weather is cold north of the Arctic Circle. This bear is three meters long and it weights four hundred and fifty kilos(kilograms). It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs, like arms. The polar bear can swim very well. It can swim one hundred and twenty kilometers out into the water. It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it’s afraid. Some people want to kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The government of the United States and Russia say that no one can kill the polar bears now. They don’t want all of the beautiful animals to die.
