Polar bear
One chill carnivore
Behold the biggest predator on land or ice. Superbly insulated against the cold, polar bears are uniquely suited to life in iced-over regions like Greenland. However, due to climate change, summers have become longer in the Arctic, cutting short the bears' hunting season. While still not listed as endangered, they're considered a vulnerable species. Fear not for our polar bear pal here though. Judging by its full, healthy coat, this cold-loving carnivore is well fed, its high perch helping it spot any seals unfortunate enough to surface.
Rather than stalk their quarries, these big bears prefer to hunt by lying in wait for passing prey.
