Finally, Chris and Martin take Zoboo to the Arctic to see polar bears. They explain that polar bears are adapted to living in extremely cold environments and rely on the sea ice for hunting their prey. They also teach Zoboo about the effects of global warming on polar bear populations and the importance of protecting their habitat.
