Male bears have no role in the rearing of cubs. In fact, male bears may kill the young if left unprotected.
Black bears are not known to eat other species of bears, or to be cannibalistic in nature. Here is a detailed outline of their diet:"Black bears are omnivores whose diet includes plants, meat, and insects. Their diet typically consists of about 10-15% animal matter." --WikipediaFor more information, please see the related link below this answer:
The female polar bear lives with her cubs for more than two years. By that time they are weaned and have learned how to hunt and look after themselves. The male polar bear does not live with them. In fact, male polar bears have been known to kill cubs.
NO THEY DON'T. Think of it this way it is not like your mom would kill you. Actually, yes they do. Boar bears (male bears) have been known to actively go about and kill young cubs if they are not watched by their mother or if the mother has been scared off or beaten so badly that she can no longer defend them.

They are naturally aggressive to other male bears when they encounter each other, although polar bears are free ranging and don't establish and mark territory. They will attack and kill the cubs of another male so that they can then mate with the female. They will fight with the female as she tries to protect the cubs, although not usually to the death. Other times, although rare, it may be because they are starving.polar bears kill other polar bears to demand their territory and because of male stress

Brown bears have no natural enemies except man. Cubs are sometimes killed by pumas and male bears, but healthy adults fear only man and each other.
Surprisingly, bears are usually scared of humans. Mother bears are cautious to protect their cubs from male bears, who will kill cubs if given the chance. Besides that, I don't think that bears are afraid of other animals, though they obviously are careful about hazards in the landscape (for example, cliffs).
Frequently a new male in a pride will kill the existing cubs - but they are not "his" cubs, as the question asks, they are the cubs of the previous male.
They don't. The male grizzly will leave the mother almost immediately after mating. The mother grizzly will spend a great deal of time keeping male grizzlies away from her babies, especially the male babies, because the adult male grizzlies will try to kill them. It is a mean world these bears live in.
No, not usually but they only go in groups when the whole family is with the cubs
