A polar bear looks for a young muskox that is away from the group of muskox. If it cannot, the polar bear would usually attack and kill an injured or a weak adult. A polar bear would not attack a healthy muskox.

Who would win a fight if a polar bear and an ox fought?
The polar bear. It is very large, very strong, very beastly, and very powerful. Since polar bears kill beluga whales, walruses, and muskox, it would have no problem with an ox.Another opinion:I absolutely disagree with the answer above! Oxen have HORNS, for heavens sakes, not those small little things on a muskox's head; to mention he has a size advantage over the muskoxen, and four feet to maneuver on in comparison with a beluga whale and a walrus! Those horns will do some MAJOR damage to the polar bear before the bear gets a chance to get back at it. Oxen are powerful animals, not something to be reckoned with, that's for sure!!
