北極熊是什麼顏色?相信絕大部分的人都會回答白色,錯了!北極熊的外觀雖然是白色的,但是如果摘下幾根毛來仔細觀察,會發現北極熊的毛髮其實是一根透明而且中空的小管子。在寒冷的北極,陽光是極其珍貴的熱能來源,日光浴更是絕佳的溫暖享受,科學家認為,當日光晒在北極熊的毛髮上,光線會在細管子裡來回反射,然後向皮膚的方向傳送。再加上黑色是最容易吸熱的顏色,隱藏在白色毛髮的黑皮膚當然就能有效的吸收太陽的熱量。

這款2015年的北極熊相當討喜,無論是肥碩的大屁股,或是由頸部一路延伸到胸部的毛流皆為其亮點,背影忠實呈現這種強壯的動物,再來就是平衡感也掌握的很棒,由照片上看不太出來,此熊上半身微微前傾,常態來看,這類站姿如當初作模者沒調整好上下半身的重量分配,將會造成實品上半身太重容易往前倒。牠小小的眼睛氣質和柴犬倒有幾分相似。

此次重塗我在熊爪的部分做了點小補強,原模的爪子和腳掌相連成一整塊,造型曖昧,無法突顯出牠身為極地王者的兇猛度 (這類模型主打市場為兒童向,所以設計時會避免突出或銳利的部分以避免刺傷小孩,這也是沒辦法的事),先用美工刀將爪子一塊切割出來,再塗上黑色,還原了應有的立體感。塗裝部份則上了層淺淺的灰黃色。不知為何,照片看起來灰不拉機的,實品改裝後的顏色比照片要淡很多,帶點灰黃色,至於原模塗裝請參考這篇文章,除了背部 / 吻部和腳掌略以灰色噴裝,外其他部位皆為素白色。因為重塗的關係,原模的油亮感亦改善了不少。

北極熊 (資料來自於WIKI百科)
北極熊(學名:Ursus maritimus)又稱白熊,是在北極裡生長的熊,牠是陸上最龐大的肉食性動物。在牠生存的空間裡,牠位於食物鏈的最頂層。牠擁有極厚的脂肪及毛髮來保暖,其白色的外表在雪白的雪地上是良好的保護色,而且牠可以在陸上及海上捕捉食物,因此牠能在北極這種極嚴酷的氣候裡生存。被列為瀕臨絕種動物。北極熊是一種能在惡劣的環境下生存的動物,其活動範圍主要在北冰洋附近,而最南則可以在有浮冰出沒的地方找到牠們(現時找到牠們的最南點為加拿大的詹姆士灣)。而最北可以在北緯88度找到牠們,牠們分布在北極點。

北極熊是熊科裡最喜愛食肉的動物,亦是同類動物裡最喜愛以魚類為食物的。牠們主要的糧食為海豹,特別是環斑海豹,不過牠們亦會進食任何能夠被其獵殺的動物,如貝類、蟹、幼鯨。



Polar bear (information from wikipedia)
The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi). A boar (adult male) weighs around 350–700 kg (770–1,540 lb), while a sow (adult female) is about half that size. Although it is the sister species of the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their time at sea. Their scientific name means "maritime bear", and derives from this fact. Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice, often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present.

The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and adjacent land masses as far south as Newfoundland Island. Due to the absence of human development in its remote habitat, it retains more of its original range than any other extant carnivore. While they are rare north of 88°, there is evidence that they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada. Their southernmost range is near the boundary between the subarctic and humid continental climate zones. They can occasionally drift widely with the sea ice, and there have been anecdotal sightings as far south as Berlevåg on the Norwegian mainland and the Kuril Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk. It is difficult to estimate a global population of polar bears as much of the range has been poorly studied; however, biologists use a working estimate of about 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears worldwide.
