🐻❄️Exhibit of the Day: The Polar Bear Diorama in the Museum’s Hall of Ocean Life! A close relative of the brown bear, the polar bear has evolved specialized features to thrive in the Arctic. For example, females produce highly-fatty milk that boosts their cubs’ growth, energy, and fat insulation, which helps the baby bears survive Arctic temperatures. 🌡️Because they’re so dependent on their arctic environment for hunting and survival, polar bears are especially vulnerable to melting sea ice driven by climate change. ➡️The Museum is open from Wednesday–Sunday, 10 am–5:30 pm.
