Reference
Polar bears are the largest representatives of their species. Adult animals weigh from 300 to 600 kg and have a body length of about 2.5 meters. They attack extremely quickly and without warning. People are considered strangers in the habitat of polar bears, and a polar bear may see them as potential prey. The polar bear is incredibly strong, and even cubs can be extremely aggressive and dangerous.
