Chilly thoughts

At a talk by the Polar adventurer Ben Saunders I gleaned the following fact. Polar bears don't drink water. Instead these wooly white masterpieces have an enzyme that allows them to use the water produced when the fat from the animals they eat is broken down. A sort of internal water fountain. Cool. File this fact under 'miscellaneous', 'useless', or 'wonderful'.
