北方的国王(Kings of the north)

陆地上最大的食肉动物在冰冷的北方漫游。像这样的北极熊一生中大部分时间都在海冰上度过,而不是在陆地上,它们会跟踪自己最喜欢的猎物:海豹。北极熊极易御寒,特别适合在冰上生活,因此它们特别容易受到全球变暖的影响。他们的困境是北极熊周的焦点,每年11月的第一周,北极熊周将关注这些生活在大多数人看不见的地方的动物。
原文:
The largest carnivore on land roams the icy north. Polar bears like this one spend much of their lives on sea ice rather than terra firma, stalking their favourite prey: seals. Superbly insulated against the cold, polar bears are uniquely suited for life on the ice – so they're especially vulnerable to a warming planet. Their plight is the focus of Polar Bear Week, observed the first week of every November, bringing attention to these creatures who live far out of sight of most humans.
