Polar Bears are Carnivores predators who get their food by hunting. Polar Bears are expert hunters. They usually hunt in areas that interface between ice and water. They rarely hunt in open water. They use a technique called "Still Hunting". They use their excellent sense of smell to locate a seal breathing hole and wait for the seal to appear. When the Seal comes out to breathe, the bear smells its breath, reaches into the hole with its front paws and drags it out of the water. They kill the seal by biting its head. They often raid the birth lairs of female seals and prey on the seal pups. They are extremely powerful and can even kill an adult walrus.

What a bear hunts depends on where it lives. Polar bears hunt seals most of the time but they will also take beluga whales and walrus.

Grizzly bears hunt caribou, moose, deer, sheep, fish and sometimes black bears. Grizzlies also eat fruits, berries, roots, bulbs, etc.

Black bears eat much more fruit, berries and other vegetation than grizzlies. They also eat salmon, honey, ants, bees, wasps, and the fawns of various types of deer if they can catch them.

The polar bear travels long distances over vast desolate expanses, generally on drifting oceanic ice floes, searching for seals, its primary prey.
