Answer 2

Polar bears are carnivorous, mostly eating seals, . They also eat Arctic foxes, reindeer, rodents, musk ox, fish, shellfish, eggs and seabirds such as gulls. They have been known to eat beluga whales and even walruses.

They are opportunistic feeders which have been known to even feed on human garbage, as evidenced when the garbage dump in Churchill, Canada, had to be shut down due to starving polar bears roaming through and finding anything even remotely edible.

They are one of the very few animals that will actually hunt down and eat humans given the chance.

During summer, their diet also includes plant matter such as mosses, grasses, berries and leaves. This is also when the polar bear will "stock up on" its body fat in order to maintain its weight in the lean season, which may last as long as 3-4 months.

Polar bears DO NOT eat penguins because they live at opposite poles. Polar bears live at North Pole, and penguins are restricted to the Southern Hemisphere.

Seals are the preferred diet/prey for Polar Bears. Most of its diet consists of ringed or bearded seals. They are also known to hunt and kill adult Walruses and even Beluga Whales. Mature/Adult bears tend to eat only the calorie rich skin and blubber of the seal, whereas youngsters consume the meat as well. They have been known to even raid bird nests and feed on chicks and eggs.

The main prey are pinnepeds, like walrus and seals, but they will feed on whale carcasses, and most anything they can catch. Also, they will feed at garbage dumps in some locations.
