* Polar bears live in the Arctic region, which includes the Arctic Ocean and surrounding landmasses like Greenland, Canada, Russia, Norway, and the United States (Alaska). They are adapted to survive in extremely cold, icy environments.
* Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere, primarily in the Antarctic region and surrounding islands. They are found on the continent of Antarctica and islands like South Georgia, the Falklands, and the Kerguelen Islands. They thrive in cold, icy conditions and spend most of their time in the ocean.
While both animals are adapted to cold environments, their specific habitats are vastly different. The Arctic is a land-based region with sea ice, while the Antarctic is a landmass surrounded by ocean. This difference in habitat is reflected in the animals' respective adaptations: polar bears are primarily land-based predators, while penguins are aquatic birds.
