Alaska. Greenland and Siberia They have also been seen in the Atlantic Ocean as far south as the Gulf oi St. Lawrence. A male polar bear a erages seven to eight ieet in length with some going up to nine or ten feet. The average weight is about 900 pounds, going up to 1,600 pounds. The female is a bit smaller: she only weighs about 700 pounds. Both males and females have thick, yellowish white coats of fur. It has often been said ttiat cubs are born while the mother polar bear is hibernating. This is not true. Polar bears, like other bears, do not hibernate in the strict sense and it is now usual to refer to their sleep as winter dormancy. A female will have a gestation of 240 days, usually delivering two cubs in December or January after mating in April or May. Each babj will be about a foot long at birth and weigh less than two pounds. The eyes will open at 33 days and the ears at 26 days although hearing is imperfect until the cub is 69 days old. A pregnant r seeks out a bank of snow in the ice of a hill and digs into it before she starts her winter dormancy. The cubs dont start to walk until they are about 45 days old and are not weaned for three months. The babies will stay with the mother until they are at least 10 months old. Sometimes they stay until they are almost two years old. she-bea- CXZCEtZ OF Tumbleweeds By Toni K.

Burk Rogers by Jim Lawrence & Cray Morrow Male polar bears also go into periods of winter dormancy. They remain inactive for a much shorter period of time than the females, however.
