No. There are three types of mammals: monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals. Monotremes lay eggs, marsupials give live birth to very undeveloped young, which must attach to the nipple (possibly in a pouch), and placental mammals give live birth to much more developed young. A polar bear is a placental mammal.

I don't think so. Unlike kangaroos and koalas, polar bear cubs become physically independent (walking) practically at birth and do not need to cling to their mothers. Like bears, they are simply mamals.

A Polar bear is a Placental mammal. The young of Placental Mammals are born at an advanced stage after being nourished by the placenta.
