Majestic and powerful, the polar bear is the king of the Arctic. Adapted to icy environments, it has thick white fur and a layer of fat that protects it from the cold. An excellent swimmer, it sometimes travels dozens of kilometers across frozen waters to hunt or find new ice floes.
Surprisingly, despite its white fur, the polar bear's skin is actually black! This allows it to better absorb the sun's heat. And its fur isn't truly white but transparent; it simply reflects the light.
The Papo polar bear figurine faithfully represents this extraordinary Arctic predator: realistic posture, textured fur, and expressive gaze. An essential piece to complete a collection of wild animals or recreate a polar scene.
