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.

A Polar Bear's main food source are seals, and other marine animals. Once they locate a seals breathing hole in the ice, they wait patiently until the seal surfaces, then grab it with their teeth, or they look for seals and pups that are out on the ice. Polar bears will also try to catch whales that sometimes get trapped in small openings , far away from open water. and also dead animals that have washed up on shore.
