February 27 is International Polar Bear Day, which celebrates everyone’s favorite furry beasts of the Arctic. In honor of the occasion, Live Science brings you some wacky facts about the furry beasts.

The bears are tiny when they’re born, weighing only about 0.5 kg. However, An adult male polar bear?typically weighs between 351 to 544 kilograms, or the weight of about five to seven men. The largest polar bear ever recorded was a male weighing 1,000 kg, according to Polar Bear International. By contrast, adult females weigh only half as much as males, or 50 to 295 kg.

If a polar bear doesn’t eat for seven to 10 days, it can slow its metabolism (新陈代谢) until it finds its next meal. They survive off of fat reserves from their diet, which consists mostly of seals. But climate change is making food more scarce and driving some bears to kill themselves.

The bears don’t sleep in winter, but mother bears live in habitats while they raise their babies. While mama bears are in their habitats (generally between January and March), they don’t eat or drink.

Although polar bears appear white, their fur is actually transparent. It only appears white, because it reflects visible light. Under their fur, polar bear skin is actually black. To humans and other animals that can see only in visible light, the bears appear to blend in with their snowy surroundings. But reindeer, which polar bears sometimes hunt for, can see in ultraviolet light (紫外线), which makes polar bears stand out from their snowy environment.

Polar bears have a keen sense of smell, which they use to find prey. A polar bear can sniff out a seal on the ice 32 kilometers away, and can smell a seal's breathing hole in the ice more than half a mile away, according to the National Zoo.

Polar bears rely on sea ice to hunt, and st
