There are rare cases of adult male polar bears eating young bears.
Polar bears are NOT the same as black or grizzly bears - those species are known to kill cubs in an effort to send the female back into heat in order to mate. This is called infanticide and this behaviour has not been observed in polar bears.
If an adult polar bear kills a cub it is most likely cannibalism, driven by desperate hunger. Due to rapidly shrinking Arctic sea ice, polar bears don't get to spend as much time on the ice hunting their primary source of food: seals. So if polar bears are stuck on land for longer periods of time, they may become more desperate for food sources.
