BBBBRRRRRR it's cold in here! In this episode, Amazing Wildlife analyzes the behavior of the polar bear and explains the tools these creatures use to survive in the extreme weather conditions of the Arctic. Hosts Ebone and Rick discuss the parents' roles in raising cubs, how polar bears hunt for food, and the dangers of studying such a big animal. The hosts answer a question from a young listener about why polar bears are (or aren’t) white. If you have a question for Amazing Wildlife you can record it and send your audio file to <a href="mailto:wildlife@iheartmedia.com">wildlife@iheartmedia.com</a> for your chance to hear it on the show!
