The common name for the largest land carnivore is the polar bear. Polar bears are native to the Arctic region and are adapted to thrive in cold environments. Adult males can weigh up to 1,500 pounds and can reach lengths of up to 10 feet when on their hind legs. They primarily hunt seals on sea ice but are also opportunistic feeders, adapting their diet based on available food sources. Climate change and melting ice habitats pose significant threats to their survival, making conservation efforts critical for their future.
