Frequently Asked Questions

Do polar bears and penguins live together?

No. Polar bears live in the Arctic and penguins almost entirely in the Southern Hemisphere, so they never meet in the wild.

Which arctic animals turn white in winter?

The arctic fox, the arctic hare, the ermine and the ptarmigan wear white in winter across most of the Arctic.

What is a musk ox?

A hoofed mammal of the Arctic tundra, closer to sheep and goats than to cattle, with a long coat for the winter.
