A polar bear’s paws (爪) do many things. They can dig holes where the baby polar bears stay safe and warm in the snow. Also, they can break ice to find food and pull food out of the water.
A polar bear eats other animals. Seals (海豹) are its favorite food. The bear waits and waits because seals will come up for air at holes in the ice. Finally, when a seal appears, the polar bear catches it at once. Polar bears have good noses. They can smell a seal 20 miles away! They have good hearing and eyesight, too. These are useful when they are looking for dinner.
The ice melts (融化) in spring and summer. Polar bears will move from the ice to land when the sea ice is mostly gone. But there is not much food for polar bears on land.
