The polar bear is a bear native to the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas. An adult male
weighs about four hundred to six hundred and eighty kilograms, while an adult female is
about half that size. Although it is closely related to the brown bear, it has paws to occupy a
narrow ecological niche with many bony characteristics adapted to for cold temperatures, for
moving across the snow, ice, open water, and for hunting seals which make up most of its
diets. Although most of polar bears are born on land, it spends most of its time at sea, hence
its name meaning maritime bear and can hunt consistently only from sea ice. It spends much
of the year on frozen sea.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the
scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes
are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard
and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-
blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but
most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can
eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some
snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide
away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like
the sugar gliders.

Napoleon is a favorite fish for divers in many regions of the world. The fish can instantly be
recognized by its size, color and shape. It is one of the largest reef fish in the world. They can
grow up to 230 cm and weigh 190 kg. They have fleshy lips and a hump over the head that is
similar to a napoleon hat. The Hump becomes more prominent with age.
Colors vary with age and sex. Males range from a bright electric blue to green or purplish
blue. Mature males develop a black stripe along the sides, blue spots on their body scales, and
blue scribbles on the head. Juveniles can be identified by their pale greenish color and two
black lines running behind the eye. Females, both old and young, are red-orange on the upper
parts of their bodies and red-orange to white yellow.
Napoleon fish are carnivorous and eat during the day. They can be seen feasting on shellfish,
other fish, sea stars, sea urchins and crabs, crushing the shells to get the animal within. They
also crush large chunks of dead coral rubble with peg-like teeth to feed on the burrowing
mussels and worms.
Pairs spawn together as part of a larger mating group that may consist of over 100
individuals. The planktonic eggs are released into the water, and once the larvae have hatched
they will settle out on the substrate. Adult females are able to change sex but the triggers for
this development are not yet known.
The Napoleon is mainly found on coral reef edges and drop-offs. They move into shallow
bays during the day to feed, and tend to move into deeper waters as they grow older and
large. Adults, therefore, are more common offshore than inshore.
