The Keeshound Bear, also known as the white bear, crown bear, or polar bear, is a large bear native to the Keeslands. It is well-adapted to its habitat: its thick blubber and fur insulate it against the cold and its translucent fur (which appears white or cream-coloured) camouflages it from its prey. The polar bear hunts well on land and on the sea ice, as well as in the water.
Contents
Appearance
A Keeshound Bears nose and skin are black and the fur is translucent despite its apparent white hue. The fur is good camouflage as well as insulation. Stiff hairs grow on the soles of its paws; these insulate and provide traction on ice. Most adult males weigh from 300 to 600 kg (660 to 1300 lb) and measure 2.4 to 2.6 m (95 to 102 in) in length.
Occurrence
The Keeshound Bear is a coastal species sometimes regarded as a marine mammal found in and around the ??? Ocean whose range limits are determined by pack ice. While their numbers thin north of the southernmonst tip of Pebulia, there is evidence of polar bears all the way across the coastal Keeslands. Population estimates are generally just over 40,000. This species is also found in the Northern Clans of Bears Armed, where some of the sapient Ursines apparently have it as their ancestral stock.
