What animals live in the Arctic?

If we talk about unique species of animals that are found only in the Arctic, then this is a polar bear, musk ox, wild reindeer, snow sheep.

Other species are found in the Arctic and other natural geographical areas: walruses, seals, Arctic foxes, stoats, and wolverines.

The Arctic waters are home to cetaceans: baleen whales, orcas, narwhals, Beluga dolphins, and many different types of fish.

In the short polar summer, the Arctic becomes a nesting place for millions of migratory birds from different parts of the world.

The melting of Arctic ice observed in recent decades threatens the disappearance of many unique species of animals.
