The Arctic. In the north.

Close to their parents.

Well that narrows it down.

Parasyte is closest. They live all around the Arctic Circle, both on islands and on the continents.

Unfortunately, they are actually running out of places to live. Not due to over population, but because most of their habitat has been steadily experiencing higher temperatures, causing the ice to melt and break apart. Poor little guys. :(

I am remember in in An Inconveniest Truth, they talked about how a lot of polar bears have swam for miles and eventually drowned because they are losing their homes.

I also heard this one guy from something say this about that.

I've also heard that arctic species such as the polar bear, arctic wolves, and rabbits in the arctic circle are thriving.

As for a source: http://newsbusters.org/node/12694

"But global warming is not killing the polar bears of Canada's eastern Arctic, according to one ongoing study. Scheduled for release next year, it says the number of polar bears in the Davis Strait area of Canada's eastern Arctic %u2013 one of 19 polar bear populations worldwide %u2013 has grown to 2,100, up from 850 in the mid-1980s.

For those keeping score, that%u2019s an almost 150 percent increase in two decades.

The article continued:

"There aren't just a few more bears. There are a ... lot more bears," biologist Mitchell Taylor told the Nunatsiaq News of Iqaluit in the Arctic territory of Nunavut. Earlier, in a long telephone conversation, Dr. Taylor explained his conviction that threats to polar bears from global warming are exaggerated and that their numbers are increasing. He has studied the animals for the Nunavut government for two decades."
