Polar bears live along shores and on sea ice in the icy cold Arctic. When sea ice forms over the ocean in cold weather, many polar bears head out onto the ice to hunt seals.
Arctic wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf, are smaller in size and lighter in coloring which helps them blend into their snowy surroundings. Arctic wolves live in the harshest climate. They spend up to 5 months of each year in 24 hour darkness.

Six tons of pure power whacks an ice floe floating in cold Arctic waters. The seal lying on top of the ice doesn't stand a chance. Knocked into the sea, the seal becomes a meal for one of the ocean's top predators—the huge orca, or killer whale.
Long, white tusks break the surface of the icy Arctic water. It’s not a waterlogged herd of unicorns—it’s a pod of narwhals!
The blue whale is the largest mammal in the world. Only a few thousand blue whales are believed to swim the world's oceans. They were hunted for many years for their blubber and oil, and they were almost hunted to extinction.

There are two types of seals: the earless, or true, seals; and the eared seals, which comprise the sea lions and fur seals. Seals are carnivores, eating mainly fish, though some also consume squid, other mollusks, and crustaceans.
Harp seals spend most of their time diving and swimming in the icy waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. These sleek swimmers often hunt for fish and crustaceans and may dive to nearly 300 meters.
Walruses have long tusks and a prominent mustache. Walruses have wrinkled brown and pink skin, long, coarse whiskers, flat flippers, and lots of blubber on their bodies to keep them warm in the cold water.

Atlantic puffins are birds that live at sea most of their lives. They fly through the air like most birds, but they also "fly" through the water, using their wings as paddles.
Snowy owls have excellent eyesight, but they obviously can't see their prey when it's underneath snow or a thick layer of plants. To capture those meals, the owl relies on its other keen sense: hearing.
