Best Answer
  • 1. They need the food.
  • 2. They need to eat the fat from the seals so they can survive and not freeze.
  • 3. They like to eat the fat off the seals.
  • 4. Polar bears need about 4.4lbs of fat per day to survive. The fat gives them enough energy to be able to withstand subzero temperatures. An average weight of a ringed seal is around 121 lbs. If a polar bear catches one and eats the whole thing it will have about 8 days of energy. They will not need to eat or hunt in those 8 days.
  • 5. Polar bears also like to eat seals because in the spring the seals have their pups. That means that they can teach their cubs how to hunt the seals without endangering the cubs.
  • 6. A polar bear can catch seals really easy.
  • 7. They're carnivores.

Leopard seals don't live at the same place polar bears do, so definitely not. If they both lived in the same place, then perhaps they would.

Which is most likely to win in a battle a polar bear or seal?

A polar bear is the ring seal's most likely predator, in the icy habitat of the Arctic circle. The chances are that a seal can avoid the jaws of a polar bear quite often. They can hold their breath under the water for up to fourty-five minutes, but the polar bears are of the most patient predators on earth. When the ring seal goes under the water, it has the choice of which breathing hole to take a breath from. But what if that is where the polar bear is waiting? The ring seal can hear the loud sounds of the polar bear's paws on the surface of the ice, so can move away from the breathing hole it is waiting at. But when the polar bear stops moving, the ring seal has to make a choice. Out of all the breathing holes, it is most likely that a seal will choose the one the polar bear isn't waiting at. Brilliant. This proves they may be tasty prey, but are good at avoiding the ferocious, deadly jaws of the deadly predator, Polar bear.
