Adult
male Polar Bears weigh 352–680 kg (780–1,500 lb) and measure
2.4–3 m (7.9–9.8 ft) in length. Adult females are roughly
half the size of males and normally weigh 150–249 kg (330–550
lb), measuring 1.8–2.4 metres (5.9–7.9 ft) in length.
Unfortunately few bears these days are able to reach these historic
averages due to the freeze happening later each year. Late freezes
prevent the bears from reaching their main source of food - the
seal, and as a result, many of the bears are succumbing to starvation
