About This Camera

The Polar Bear Plunge at the San Diego Zoo features three polar bears and a habitat designed with input from polar bear scientists to encourage swimming, digging, and natural foraging behaviors.

Polar Bear

Ursus maritimus

The Arctic's apex predator and the world's largest land carnivore. Polar bears depend on sea ice as a hunting platform — making them one of the species most directly threatened by climate change.
