And now it's time for some more Amazing Animals. Number 1,986,425, the amazing polar bear.

Hello, there she is. Or should I say Ursus maritimus?

Oh, no. Don't say it. Too late. I just did.

It means maritime bear. Although polar bears are mainly born on land, they actually spend most of their time in sea.

You'll find them in the Arctic, which is here on the map. Oh, my finger just got cold.

Sadly it's estimated that there are only around 25,000 polar bears left. And there are fears that global warming may be partly responsible as they spend their lives on the shrinking ice.

Polar bears can weigh around 1,700 pounds and be up to ten feet tall. So if you bump into a walking carpet, watch out, they rarely attack humans.

But if they're feeling a bit hungry, oh, just don't cover yourself in ketchup. Here's one with that cub.

Here the cubs emerge from their den in a snowdrift. Ready to begin the long walk to the sea.

That is if they can safely escape being sat on. Mummy, no. . .
