They live in the Arctic Circle, including areas in Greenland, Canada, and Alaska.

Their fur appears white because each hair is transparent and hollow, reflecting light, while their skin is black to absorb sunlight.

They have a stocky build with a long neck, relatively small head, and short, rounded ears.

Their large paws are equipped with hairy soles for insulation and traction on ice and can be used as paddles for swimming.
