A food web is a system of overlapping food chains that includes all the plants and animals in a habitat.

Name one animal that lives in the Arctic habitat and describe what it eats.

A polar bear lives in the Arctic and eats seals (or whale carcass if necessary).

Why is a polar bear's natural habitat in the Arctic instead of the desert?

A polar bear's body is adapted for cold environments and its food (seals, fish) is found in the Arctic, not the desert.
