Polar bear facts for your naming story
According to Britannica, the polar bear is the largest land carnivore, and it lives in the Arctic. Its fur looks white, but the hairs are actually clear and hollow, and the skin underneath is black.
Polar bears spend much of their lives on sea ice, where they hunt seals. Climate change is shrinking that sea ice, so a polar bear plush also makes a good conversation starter about the Arctic.
How we pick a plush name (and how to pick yours)
A polar bear plush needs three clues: the long nose, small round ears and a big, soft body. Snowball is the classic giant. Cuddle Cub is the smaller, rounder baby bear. Iceball and Snowy are the big-size options at 130 cm (51.2 in) and 110 cm (43.3 in).
A 30 cm (11.8 in) cub gets a short name like Floe or Beau. A 150 cm (59.1 in) bear can carry a name like Knut or Nanuq. Pick the size first, then the name.
Use the three-test method to decide:
- Say it three times. If it still sounds good, keep it.
- Shout it across the house. If you feel silly, drop it.
- Sign it on a gift tag. If you would write it, you have a winner.

What does Nanuq mean?
Nanuq is the Inuit word for polar bear. It is short, easy to say and unusual enough to feel special. It suits a large white plush, especially a giant one like our 150 cm (59.1 in) Snowball, and it is a name few other people will have picked for theirs.

Not exactly. Britannica explains that polar bear fur is made of clear, hollow hairs that look white, and the skin underneath is black. A white plush is the friendly version, and it makes a good gift for animal lovers.
