How can orcas kill polar bears?

Answer 1

Yes. Polar Bears are full capable of killing a beluga whale. A female polar bear can kill a beluga by it's self!!!!

Amazing!!!!

In fact, due to the melting polar ice caps many polar bears are forced into the waters to kill their prey. There are less sea lions, seals, etc. for them to hunt and eat so they are turning to whales such as the Beluga. Polar bears have even crossed oceans seeking out food due to global warming. Research global warming and its effect on the polar bear for more information.

Answer 2

There is no record of a polar bear ever killing an Orca. There are records of the Killer Whale taking a polar bear while the latter was swimming in open water. The Orca is perfectly capable of killing a bear under those circumstances.

Answer 3

Yes. A polar bear's size and strength can easily take down a walrus if the polar bear used its claws and teeth to shatter the walrus in pieces. If the polar bear is very large, then it could definitely kill a walrus.

Answer 4

Orcas are large, fast swimming, heavy, powerful mammals; they have an impressive set of teeth; they hunt in groups (pods); and the water is their home turf. A swimming polar bear is no match for a pod of orcas, or even one adult orca. They're not called killer whales for nothing.

Answer 5

No, it is highly unlikely due to the difference in weight and size. Polar bears are more likely to scavenge on the remains of a dead killer whale, than to actually kill one.

Answer 6

Only occasionally beluga whales that come too close to the surface and a bear can drag out, but not the much larger whales.

Answer 7

How about this:

Answer 10

Yes, orcas have been known to kill and eat polar bears they catch while they are swimming.
