The polar bear is a large bear species found in the Arctic Ocean ice fields. It is the largest bear species in the world (with the exception of the Kodiak brown bears found in Alaska, which can reach similar sizes), with males often weighing around 600 kg (1,300 lb). Thought to be closely related to the brown bear, the polar bear's name actually means "sea bear" because they are known not only to spend considerable time near shore but also to be strong and skilled swimmers, having been observed up to 100 miles from the nearest ice or land.
