Beartic is the Freezing Pokemon, a large white bear of icy seas. Its strength, swimming and cold home match the polar bear. Its great white body and icy claws fit an Arctic bear.

Meet the real Polar Bear
Ursus maritimus
Polar bears are Arctic marine bears specialized for sea ice hunting, insulation, and long-range movement between seal access points.
How to recognize it
- Large pale bear with long neck and relatively narrow head
- Heavy shoulders and long body suited to swimming and ice travel
- Creamy to yellow-white coat over dark skin
Real Polar Bear facts
- Polar bears are major examples of mammal specialization built around a disappearing physical platform.
- Their physiology and movement make Arctic food-web changes especially visible.
- Diet
- Mostly seals and fat-rich marine prey.
- Lifespan
- Polar Bears often live 20 to 30 years, if sea ice, prey, and survival conditions hold long enough for repeated endurance.
- Predators and threats
- Healthy adults have no regular natural predator. Adult males sometimes kill cubs, so mothers with young keep their distance from them. The greatest threat is the loss of sea ice as the Arctic warms, which shortens the seal-hunting season; pollution and hunting add to it.
