Polar Bear

Native to the Arctic Circle, polar bears are both the largest species of bear and the largest land carnivore on planet Earth. Polar bear’s scientific name actually means “maritime bear,” since they spend most of their time hunting on sea ice.

Although the bear family is thought to have originated nearly 40 million year ago, the oldest polar bear fossil is only about 100,000 years old. Individually hand painted and crafted with true-to-life detail, this model makes an excellent gift, toy for play, or teaching aid!
