Naming and etymologyConstantine John Phipps was the first to describe the polar bear as a distinct species in 1774.He chose the scientific name Ursus maritimus, the Latin for 'maritime bear', due to the animal's native habitat. The Inuit refer to the animal as nanook (transliterated as nanuq in the Inupiat language).The Yupik also refer to the bear as nanuuk in Siberian Yupik. The bear is umka in the Chukchi language. In Russian, it is usually called (bélyj medvédj, the white bear), though an older word still in use is о (Oshkúj, which comes from the Komi oski, "bear"). In French, the polar bear is referred to as ours blanc ("white bear") or ours polaire ("polar bear"). In the Norwegian-administered Svalbard archipelago, the polar bear is referred to as Isbjørn ("ice bear").
Taxonomy and evolutionThe bear family, Ursidae, is believed to have split off from other carnivorans about 38 million years ago. The Ursinae subfamily originated approximately 4.2 million years ago. The oldest known polar bear fossil is a 130,000 to 110,000-year-old jaw bone, found on Prince Charles Foreland in 2004.[15] Fossils show that between ten to twenty thousand years ago, the polar bear's molar teeth changed significantly from those of the brown bear. Polar bears are thought to have diverged from a population of brown bears that became isolated during a period of glaciation in the Pleistocene.[16]
Population status and conservationListed in the Red Book of Russia. Slow reproduction and high mortality of young animals do this beast vulnerable. But now the population is stable or rising. In 1993 it was estimated at 21 470-28 370 individuals. In Russia there are 5-7 thousand polar bears, and annual poaching shooting ranges from 150 to 200 animals per year. Due to the reduced Chi
