Description:
Magnet, the winning animal in the Beast in Show campaign, is a 13-year-old male polar bear from the Baltimore Zoo. Magnet has been a favorite among visitors of all ages since his arrival to Baltimore in 1990. Born at the Toledo Zoo in 1988, Magnet received his name when keepers noticed that the young bear never left his mother’s side. He was like a magnet to her. Often seen playing with his toys or basking in the sun, Magnet’s favorite past time is swimming in his pool, where he dives for hours in the icy waters. While Magnet enjoys cold winters, his adaptations help him cope with warmer summers as well. Polar bears have a four-inch layer of blubber that acts as insulation keeping them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Despite appearances, Magnet’s fur is not white. Each hair is actually colorless and transparent with a hollow core. Polar bears look white because the hollow core scatters and reflects visible light. Beneath their fur, their skin is actually black. Magnet enjoys eating meat and fish and weighs approximately 802 pounds. Polar bears like Magnet, work hard to keep their fur clean. After feeding, they will head immediately for water to wash off. They will also groom themselves by licking their paws, chests and muzzles. Polar bears, like Magnet, are solitary animals, only coming together with other bears during the spring mating season. The rest of the year, they roam singly or in small family groups consisting of a mother and her young. These animals get very agitated when placed in the same exhibit as other animals. Polar bears are extremely smart. One researcher has compared their intelligence to that of apes. In captivity, in addition to the snow, ice, and deep water they require, they respond well to more stimulating environments that also include areas of sand, grass, and hard ground. When not hunting, polar bears are playful creatures. When bored, agitated, or upset, polar bears will roar, pace, and swing their heads. Magnet the polar bear appears courtesy of the Baltimore Zoo.
