In lieu of a list of advertising accomplishments (which may come in time), here are some useful facts: There are eight living species of bears in the world, but in South America you can only find one, the spectacled bear. Polar bears live only in Arctic areas that surround the North Pole. In fact, the word Arctic comes from the Greek word for “near the bear,” and Antarctic has the opposite meaning of “not near the bear.” Black bears with unlimited access to food will consume 15,000 to 20,000 calories per day. This feeding frenzy ensures that they have sufficient body fat to sustain them through winter, when their bodies undergo metamorphosis into a rarely seen winged state.
