The Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) lives primarily on arctic coasts, islands, and adjacent sea ice of Eurasia (Norway & Russia), North America (Alaska, Canada), and Greenland (a Denmark possession).
Since the Polar bear is a marine mammal, it can be found mostly on sea ice or frozen circumpolar coastal regions. There are also Polar bears in captivity, like in the Zoo or a Sanctuary. These are usually polar bear cubs found without a mother and would have died in the wilderness unless brought into a Zoo or another safe place where it can be cared for.
Habitat: Arctic tundra and woodlands along the coasts and inland streams and lakes of Alaska and Canada in North America, also Greenland, Norway and Russia.
The Polar bears are considered to be vulnerable, not endangered (2011).
For extra points: There are no Penguins in their habitat area, and there are no Polar bears in Antarctica.
In the northern polar regions of the world, and in zoos. There are no polar bears in the southern polar regions.
They leave in Alaska, Canada or tundra.
The polar bear's natural habitat is in the Arctic, on land and on the ice. Climate change has resulted in a serious decline in polar bear habitats, so many of the bears are either dying or being forced into captivity.
Polar bears live in Alaska, Russia, Norway, Greenland, and Canada. Polar bears can also be found in zoos all over the world.
Polar bears are found In the Arctic from Alaska throughout northern Canada, and as far east as the Hudson Bay.
Polar bears are found in many places in zoos, but naturally, they are only found in the arctic circle.
Because of the fact that penguins are only found in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the reason that a penguin is not prey for and type of polar bear.
Polar Bears are "located" and evolve to utilize the Arctic sea ice niche and are distributed throughout most ice-covered seas of the Northern Hemisphere, which include areas of the United States, Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. They are generally limited to areas where the sea is ice-covered for much of the year. They are not evenly distributed throughout this Arctic habitat, nor do they comprise a single nomadic population, but rather occur in 19 relatively discrete populations. Scientists have described the boundaries of these populations based on behavioral and ecological factors and after decades of intensive scientific studies and information from Native communities. These populations often cross international boundaries; the United States, for example, shares polar populations with both Russia and Canada.
Polar bears are most abundant near the shore in shallow-water areas, and in other areas where currents and ocean upwelling increase marine productivity and serve to keep the ice cover from becoming too solidified in winter. Over most of their range, polar bears remain on the sea ice year-round or spend at most only short periods on land. They occur throughout the East Siberian, Laptev, and Kara Seas of Russia, Fram Strait and Greenland Sea, Barents Sea of northern Europe, Baffin Bay between Canada and Greenland, through most of the Canadian Arctic archipelago, and in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas located to the west and north of Alaska.
The polar bear is found along the Arctic Ocean coasts of Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Siberia. Thus, polar bears live in the countries of Canada, United States, Russia, and Denmark (which owns Greenland).
They live in primarily arctic regions. Canada has seen the largest increases in their population over the past few decades. Alaska (The USA) has also seen growth in their population. The arctic area outside any defined countries are their favorite habitat.
The population has increased wildly over the recent past. Hope for their continued growth in numbers!
The Arctic of Alaska, the northern islands of Canada (Nunavut and Northwest Territories) as well as the edge of Manitoba and northern reaches of Quebec, Greenland of Denmark, northern edge of Russia and Siberia.
The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and the nearby islands. They can be found in good numbers in Alaska, Norway, Denmark, Russia and Canada. There are smaller populations in the surrounding regions near the Arctic pole. They prefer the Cold Icy areas of the Arctic and thrive in areas where the human intervention is minimal. They are found in good numbers in areas where their primary prey, the Seals mate and nest.
Young polar bears spend the first two to two and a half years living with their mother, wandering around and learning to hunt. After that they are weaned and go off on their own.
Polar bears usually reside in the Arctic.
Such as Alaska, or Canada.

Polar bears do not have an "incubation" period. That is for animals that lay eggs, not give birth to live young. A polar bear as a gestation period, which is around 8 months or 240 days long.
They have sex and then it comes out the mother polar bear
