Ursus eogroenlandicus Ursus groenlandicus Ursus jenaensis Ursus labradorensis Ursus marinus Ursus polaris Ursus spitzbergensis Ursus ungavensis Thalarctos maritimus. The polar bear Ursus maritimus is a hypercarnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle , encompassing the Arctic Ocean , its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is the largest extant bear species, as well as the largest extant land carnivore. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear , [8] it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche , with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice and open water, and for hunting seals , which make up most of its diet. Their scientific name means " maritime bear" and derives from this fact.

Bears are among the least productive mammals in North America. In theory, a male and female black bear born this year — if they breed as soon as they reach sexual maturity and as often as possible, and if all their offspring survive to do the same — could in the space of ten years have grown to a population of 15 bears assuming none died. Grizzly bears are even less productive: in 10 years, a male a female born today could grow to a population of only eight. By comparison, a pair of white-tailed deer could produce more than 1, descendants in 10 years. Bears generally live solitary lives, but can be found together during mating season.
