Not necessarily. During the summer, they come ashore and forge for berries and eat plants. However plant resources are diminishing and competition for them increasing. During the winter, polar bears hunt Ringed Seal on ice floes, and as both are decreasing due to global warming, one could say the polar bears will not have sufficient food over the next decades.
Yes, Polar Bears are the only species of mammal (north of the Equator) that can survive without food. Using special receptors in their fur follicles, they can draw energy directly from Solar radiation. This is why their fur appears white to the human eye.
In fact, their fur is so energy efficient, that they do not actually need to eat food similar to other mammals. Scientists believe they do so only as a way of venting aggression.
No.
As with most mammals food is stored in the fat cells of the body.
Yes, Polar Bears have been known to travel to cities to dig through dumpsters and find scraps when food is scarce in their homeland.
For short term use, yes they do. But this includes carcasses mainly of prey species, which are covered up and returned to later.
As with most mammals food is stored in the fat cells of the body.
yes idk
Polar bears often travel hundreds of miles to find food.
polar bears walk at least 9,000 miles-90,000 miles
No, not usually but they only go in groups when the whole family is with the cubs
The Inuit hunt polar bears for food and skin and bones.
Yes, polar bears are on the top of the Arctic food chain. Then the seals.
Polar bears are the largest terrestrial predators walking the Earth today. They do not beg for food.
polar bears main source of food is fish, seabirds and sometimes reindeer
Under the ice on which the Polar Bears roam.
The primary food of polar bears are seals.
There are no polar bears in Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.
because the seals are one of the main mammals in the area of the polar bear and they are easy to capture and they are not polar bears predators ( predators means where its the polar bears food not a polar bears eater)
They haven't. Polar bears are now a threatened species. If the polar ice cap goes, then so do the polar bears, as they rely on oceanic ice to secure their food.
