This document discusses the nutrients and diets of three animals found in snowy areas: the polar bear, arctic hare, and harp seal. It provides details on how polar bears hunt seals and the fat reserves they build up. It notes that arctic hares primarily eat plants, lichens, mosses and roots by digging through snow. Finally, it gives a brief overview of harp seals, describing their black eyes and silver coats with black markings as well as their size as adults. The document aims to inform students about the components of food and nutrients in these three snow area animals.

5. SNOW AREA ANIMALS ( HILLY AREA ANIMALS.)
polar bear
 Still Hunting. Although polar bears are skilled swimmers, they aren’t fast enough to catch a seal in open water, so they rely on stealth and
patience to capture their prey.
 Stalking. In early summer, polar bears obtain much of their food by stalking seals basking in the sun. ...
 Whatis theDietof a polar bear?
 Polar bear diet. Because the polar bear's body requires a diet based on large amounts of sealfat, it is the most carnivorous member of the
bear family. Food can be hard to come by for polar bears for much of the year. The bear puts on most of its yearly fat reserves between late
April and mid-July to maintain its weight in the lean seasons.
 Whatdoesa polarbearmostlyeat?
 Polar bears eat only the calorie-richblubberof theirprey,abandoning the rest of the animal. They will also eat walruses,seabirds,small
mammals,
 Whatdo polarbearseat for prey?
 The preferred prey for polar bears are seals-- the species they prey upon most often are ringedsealsandbeardedseals, two species that are
members of the group of seals known as "ice seals.".

6. Arctic hare is herbivore (folivore), meaning that it mainly feeds on plants. However, they
enjoy eating willows and flowers as well. Due to lack of suitable food in northernmost regions, these animals dig through the snowpack to
get lichens, plants and mosses. Their diet includes also rare leaves, buds and roots of plants. Males usually start molting after females.
Arctic hares’ area of distribution covers vast territory, stretching from Greenland and northernmost regions of Canada to Newfoundland
and Labrador. This animal easily tolerates
extremely low temperatures in arctic tundra and arctic desert. Altitude of its habitat.
varies from sea level to about 900 meters. Facts and Information About Hare 1 Hare Diet.
Hares are basically herbivores and prefer to eat plants, leaves, flowers etc. They can eat fruits, vegetables and seeds as well. 2 Hare

7. HARP SEAL
 The harp seal also known a saddleback seal or Greenland Seal, (Pagophilus groenlandicus) is a species of earless seal,
or true seal, native to the northernmost Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean. Originally in the genus Phoca with a
number of other species, it was reclassified into the monotypic genus Pagophilus in 1844. In Latin, its scientific name
translates to "ice-lover from Greenland," and its taxonomic synonym, Phoca groenlandica translates to
"Greenlandic seal."
 The mature harp seal has pure black eyes. It has a silver fur covering its body, with black harp or wishbone-shaped
markings dorsally. Adult harp seals grow to be 1.7 to 2.0 m (5 ft 7 in to 6 ft 7 in) long and weigh from 115 to 140 kg
(254 to 309 lb). The harp seal pup often has a yellow-white coat at birth due to staining from amniotic fluid, but after
one to three days.
