Editing Polar bear (section)

==Naming==
The polar bear was given its common name by [[Thomas Pennant]] in ''A Synopsis of Quadrupeds'' (1771). It was known as the "white bear" in Europe between the 13th and 18th centuries, as well as "ice bear", "sea bear" and "[[Greenland]] bear". The [[Norsemen|Norse]] referred to it as {{lang|no|isbjørn}} {{gloss|ice bear}} and {{lang|no|hvitebjørn}} {{gloss|white bear}}. The bear is called {{lang|und|nanook}} by the [[Inuit]]. The [[Netsilik]] cultures additionally have different names for bears based on certain factors, such as sex and age: these include adult males ({{lang|und|anguraq}}), single adult females ({{lang|und|tattaq}}), gestating females ({{lang|und|arnaluk}}), newborns ({{lang|und|hagliaqtug}}), large adolescents ({{lang|und|namiaq}}) and dormant bears ({{lang|und|apitiliit}}).{{sfn|Engelhard|2017|pp=13, 31, 68–69, 122, 253}} The scientific name {{lang|la|Ursus maritimus}} is [[Latin]] for {{gloss|sea bear}}.{{sfn|Engelhard|2017|p=48}}{{sfn|Derocher|2012|p=1}}
