Polar bear babies are usually born in the middle of
winter, very small, furless and blind. They need a den to
live in order to survive the subzero winter cold. But fe-
male polar bears make dens only when they are preg-
nant or have babies. Under banks of snow, they make
their dens—round spaces about half a meter (1.6 feet) in
diameter which they enter through a tunnel two meters
long (6.5 feet).
