ice bear

Arctic white predator

Ice bear is an alternative name for the polar bear, used in some languages and regions.

The term appears in nature writing and children's media, where it evokes the bear's Arctic habitat more vividly than the standard name: The ice bear prowled the frozen shoreline.
