The Arctic sea ice, where it can hunt seals during the winter.
Polar bears use their acute sense of smell to locate the prey, then stalk silently and positions itself for the attack. The prey is dispatched by the bears teeth, or by a heavy blow from its powerful fore limbs.

Why is the polar bear's habitat dying?
Arctic ice is melting from global warming. Bears need the ice to catch seals which they rely on for food.
What do leopards rely on?
They rely on their stealth so they can catch prey (food).
How can bats catch food at night?
Bats rely on something called Echolocation to find and catch food at night.
What happens when polar bears enter walking hibernation?
'walking hibernation' means that the bears metabolism alters to a hibernation-like state which facilitates significant energy consercation. They remain active, but rely on stored fat for energy. This is a trait no other species of bear posesses.when the polar bear enters walking hibernation, their metabolism goes to a hibernation-like level. the polar bear remains active, but relys on stored body fat. the polar bear is the only bear that does this.
How did polar bears overcome global warming?
They haven't. Polar bears are now a threatened species. If the polar ice cap goes, then so do the polar bears, as they rely on oceanic ice to secure their food.
Why can't polar bears survive in other environments?
Polar bears rely on the ice to live and hunt, they cannot hunt or obtain food anywhere else. In other environments, ice either doesn't last long enough or no ice exists, plus none of the kind of food they rely on for survival exists there, therefore polar bears cannot survive in such environments.
What are some virtues for a bear?
Bears are one of the strongest and biggest creatures that live in the forest. But, he only uses strength and ferocity when it is needed. Otherwise, it is harmless.

Why are polar bears labeled endangered?
Global warming causes the ice in the polar bears' habitat, the Arctic, to get thinner, rupture, and melt. Swimming conditions then become more difficult, food (seal) becomes scarcer, and reproduction rate decreases.Global warming is melting the sea ice in the Arctic.Polar bears rely on long winters of frozen ice to hunt seals (in dens under the ice).They need good reserves of food (blubber) to last them through summer when they can't hunt seals.Winters are getting shorter and the ice is melting earlier.Bears are weaker and summers are longer, so some move to land and scavenge in rubbish bins.Weaker female bears can not bear and raise cubs successfully.We are burning the oil and coal that is causing global warming. We have to change to renewable energy!Pollution - Man made toxic chemicals such as PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyl) and DDT (Diclorodiphenyltrichloroethane) move along the food chain up to the polar bear. Krill that have these chemicals are eaten by fish, then by seals, then the seal is eaten by polar bears. Since the polar bear is at the top of this food chain, they receive the highest amount of these chemicals in their body. Disease and Parasitism - The trichinella is commonly found under the blubber of seals, the polar bear's main prey. After the polar bear eats the seal, this parasitic roundworm can get too close to the heart or cause severe pain under the bears muscle tissue, it could result in death.Hunting - Many natives in the arctic kill polar bears for food, clothing, or handicrafts. Other times polar bears are killed in protection of property or in self-defense.With a vulnerable population of over 20,000 animals, the polar bear is currently not an endangered species. With new restrictions on trophy hunting, the great ice bear's numbers may continue to rise.
Does the Koala Bear live in the taiga?
The koala is not a bear, and it does not live in the taiga. Taiga is essentially coniferous forest. Koalas rely on eucalyptus trees for food and shelter, not conifers, and eucalyptus trees are found in native Australian bushland.
