Polar bears are classified as marine mammals. Because they spend most of their lives on the sea. At least two thirds of the world’s polar bears live on Canadian territory, giving Canadians a special relationship with —and responsibility for— these bears. The polar bear’s Latin name, Ursus maritimus, means “sea bear.” Its an apt name for this majestic species, which spends much of its life in, around, or on the ocean — predominantly on the sea ice. As sea ice melts, more and more polar bears can be.

Description

Make Mars habitable and build a second home for humanity in Surviving Mars: Green Planet.
Terraforming
Terraform Mars and make the hostile planet habitable for humanity. Each decision you make while managing your colony can affect the Terraforming Parameters, which include the Atmosphere, Temperature, Water, and Vegetation, and ideally brings them closer to habitable levels. Monitor your progress on a planetary scale with the Planetary Overview UI.
Green Mars
Seed the surface of Mars with various lichen, grass, shrubs, or trees and watch as they begin to turn the Red Planet green. Low maintenance plants like Lichen can improve the soil quality to help more complex plants grow while Trees produce high seed yields for your colony to harvest. Be sure to monitor your soil quality levels to keep your plants healthy and growing.
Special Projects
Take on seven challenging Special Projects like melting the polar caps, capturing ice asteroids, launching a space mirror, and more to begin shifting the Terraforming Parameters. Be careful, these projects will have a lasting impact on the planet and can trigger natural disasters!
Seven Terraforming Buildings
Construct seven new buildings that can help you terraform the planet or capitalize on the changes. Use the GHG factory to release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, the Forestation Plant to boost vegetation production, the Water Pump to fill lake bed, and more.
Climate Calamities
Terraforming a planet can have unexpected consequences. If you release too many greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere you can trigger acid rain which reduces soil quality, or if an asteroid slams into the planet it will cause a Marsquake that can disrupt your colony’s production.

Venture Arctic is the second ecosystem simulation game to come from Pocketwatch Games. Following its predecessor Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa, this Arctic sequel combines educational value and entertainment. The game allows players to build and manage ecosystems of Arctic animals by interacting with the environment using 'tools of nature', such as the sun, snow, wind, and sickness.

There are five different environments in the game, from an oil-rig off the coast of Svalbard, Norway, to a new pipeline disturbing the caribou herds in the Alaskan level. While the game maintains impartiality on environmental issues, players are left to discover for themselves the impact of global warming and deforestation throughout the seasons in their sim-ecosystems and the 22 animal species which comprise them.

The visual art was inspired by traditional Inuit sculpture. The music is a reinterpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons Concerto using Inuit-inspired instruments and instruments brought to the region by explorers. Venture Arctic was designed, produced, and programmed by Andy Schatz, founder of Pocketwatch Games and host of the 2007 and 2008 Independent Games Festival Awards ceremonies.

Venture Arctic animals[edit]

Arctic cod - Arctic cod are found in massive schools throughout the arctic every year. Many animals dine on these small fish, so they survive based upon their large numbers.

Arctic fox - The Arctic fox hunts for small rodents and birds in the summer. In the winter months when food is scarce the Arctic fox becomes a scavenger, often following polar bears or wolves to feast on the remains of their prey.

Arctic hare - The Arctic hare is particularly suited to escaping predation on the icy tundra. They are very fast, traveling at speeds up to forty miles per hour. Their blue-grey pelt turns pure white in the winter to help camouflage them from predators.

Arctic wolf - Arctic wolves reside in territory further north than any permanent human settlement and thus they are unafraid of human scent. This lack of fear has provided scientists with opportunities to study Arctic wolf packs up close and in great detail.

Bowhead whale - Bowhead whales travel the Arctic seas in pods grazing on plankton. Extremely large and powerful animals that can weigh over ten tons, bowhead whales will create breathing holes by breaking through up to four feet of ice.

Caribou - Caribou eat grass and shrubs in the summer. In the winter, they use their shovel shaped hooves to dig through the snow searching for lichen. Both male and female caribou have antlers, allowing for the females to compete with males for food and dominance.

Greenland shark - Greenland sharks prey on fish and marine mammals and are particularly attracted to the smell of rotten meat. Their flesh is poisonous to humans and dogs when raw but is traditionally used as food for sled dogs when dried.

Harp seal - Harp seals spend most of their life in the water and can hold their breath for fifteen minutes. Newborn pups weigh twenty pounds at birth but gain over fifty pounds in the first week of their life from their mother's nutrient-rich milk.

Muskox - Muskoxen have large horns and thick, hard skulls. When threatened by bears or wolves a herd of muskoxen will gather in a circle with their young in the middle. They will then take turns charging their attacker.

Narwhal - The narwhal has only two teeth. One stays small while one (usually the left tooth) grows up to nine feet long through the narwhal's upper lip. In most cases, only male narwhals grow the giant tusk.

Orca - Orcas travel in groups composed of ten to fifty individuals. These pods are often made up of two to three generations of the same family. Adolescent orcas help care for the young in the pod by training them to hunt fish and seals.

Polar bear - Under their thick white coats, polar bears have black skin which they use to absorb the sun's rays. Their paws are large and webbed, giving them traction on the ice and making them excellent swimmers.

Puffin - One of the only three birds in the game, it only eats cod.

Snowy owl One of the only three birds in the game, it eats hares, lemmings, and might scavenge a carcass.

Wolverine - Wolverines look like bears but are actually related to weasels. They are solitary creatures who may roam up to fifteen miles in one day looking for food. Although they will eat vegetation, wolverines prefer meat and are determined hunters.

Common raven - One of the only three birds in the game, a common raven also leads you through the tutorial.
