No. Polar Bears are carnivores. Their diet consists of ringed seals, bearded seals, birds, bird eggs, and the occasional beached whale.

We feed our polar bears at the zoo a mixed diet so they get a good supply of vitamins. They get horse meat, fish and a variety of vegetables and fruit. In the wild, where polar bears live, there are not many plants for them to eat so they get their vegetables from what was in the stomach of the animal they ate. That makes them generally carnivorous but they tend to be omnivorous when they have the opportunity.

Bears eat mostly meat, but 90% of bears also eat grasses, berries, fruits, and even acorns. Technically they can be categorized as carnivores, but they are true omnivores
