Dolphins live in the world’s seas and oceans and in some rivers too. Some dolphins like to live in coastal areas, others like shallow water.
Orcas are the only dolphins which live in the Arctic（北极）and Antarctic（南极）.Their large size means that they have more protection against the cold of the freezing seas.

The polar bear is a very big white bear. We call it the polar bear because it lives inside the Arctic Circle(北极圈) near the North Pole(北极). There are no polar bears at the South Pole.
At the North Pole there is only snow, ice and water. There is not any land. The polar bear lives in the snowy and icy world. You cannot see the polar bear clearly in the snow because its coat is yellow-white. It has a very warm coat because of the cold weather in the Arctic Circle.
The bear is 3 meters long and it weighs 450 kilos. It can stand up on its back legs because it has very wide feet. It can use its front legs as arms. The polar bear can swim 120 kilometers in the water. It catches fish and sea animals for food. It goes into the sea when it is in danger.
Some people kill the polar bear for its beautiful white coat. The governments of Canada and the United States say that no one is allowed to kill polar bears now. They don’t want all of these beautiful animals to die.
