Best Answer

The female Polar Bear when pregnant will enter a den to have cubs, and stay there until they are born.

On cold days they may dig a hole, curl up and even cover their nose with a paw. On warm days, they pant, may sleep anywhere in almost any position, and may be sprawled out with unfurred foot pads waving in the air, looking more like a jellyfish than the ultimate arctic carnivore. Also, in the dark winter, they may burrow into the snow to help keep warm. In the summer, they may burrow into the earth to get away from the sun and keep cool. Sometimes they'll hide from the wind behind an ice wall or something similar

Polar bears will dig their dens in the snow. If they're lucky, they'll find a cave if there are any, but for the most part, they dig in snow.

Pregnant female polar bears will dig snow dens in the late fall. They give birth to their cubs in November or December, and the cubs remain in the den until March or April.

Near rock cliffs or in a snow bank.
They burrow into the snowy ground to be away from predators and cold winds, with cubs and without cubs.

Only females that are close to birthing do. Other polar bears that are not this way choose to sleep outside.

Anywhere she likes ! She usually digs a hole in the snow and ice just big enough for her to fit in, when she needs somewhere to rest.

How have polar bears adapted to global warming?

They have not adapted. They have a particular habitat, the Arctic ice, and a particular prey, seals, that can only be caught in their dens under the ice. The ice is melting earlier and earlier every summer, so polar bears have a shortened feeding time during winter to build up their body fat to last through the summer. Weakened female bears don't produce cubs.
