Polar bears have an incredible sense of smell, detecting prey from miles away.
Polar bears, the largest land predators on Earth, possess an extraordinary olfactory sense. Their highly developed nose allows them to detect the scent of seals, their primary prey, even from several miles away. This keen sense of smell is crucial for their survival in the vast Arctic, where food can be scarce and widely dispersed. Studies have shown that polar bears can detect seals hidden under thick layers of ice and snow, making them formidable hunters in their frigid habitat.
