With a deep dive into the life of the Arctic's largest terrestrial predator, the video offers insights into their physical features, such as their large size, sharp claws, and adept swimming abilities due to slightly webbed front paws. Key concepts also include polar bears' diet of seals and occasional eggs, their black skin, which helps absorb sunlight, and the role of their thick fur in maintaining warmth.
