5 Fun Facts about Polar Bears, Penguins, and Other Mysterious Animals of the Extreme Cold
Enslow author Anna Maria Rodriguez's new book, Polar Bears, Penguins, and Other Mysterious Animals of the Extreme Cold gives us a glimpse into the world of the unusual animals that live near the north and south poles. Since Polar Bears, Penguins, and Other Mysterious Animals of the Extreme Cold will be released soon, I'd like to share a 5 interesting facts from the book:
1. Polar bears spend so much time swimming and on ice floes that they are actually considered marine mammals. If you translate their scientific name, Ursus maritimus, you'll see that it means "Sea Bear".
2. The Antarctic cod has special proteins, called peptides, that prevent it from freezing.
3. Adult male polar bears will usually not hibernate during the winter.
4. Scientists have located major emperor penguin colonies by taking satelite images of Antarctica and looking for areas stained by penguin guano.
5. Polar bears will sometimes show signs of frustration when they lose a seal that they have been hunting.
If you still can't get enough information about these Extreme Animals, check out the book here:

Fun Facts about Ferrets
978-0-7660-3683-3 Grades 3-4 |
Did you know that the word ferret comes from a Latin word meaning "little thief?" Ferrets like stealing things from around the house and hiding them.
Some people say that a ferret is like a dog and a cat rolled into one. They enjoy playing (like cats) and are quite intelligent (like dogs.) This member of the weasel family includes minks, otters, skunks, martens, fishers, and wolverines. Unlike dogs which calm down and slow down as they get older, ferrets like to play their entire lives.
