Most bears will eat human food if they can find it. Polar bears do get into garbage cans, break into homes, and will rummage for food. They eat fish, seals, and male polar bears have been known to track baby bears and eat them. There was one NatGeo show I saw where a male bear went after a mother bear and her two cubs. He tracked them for days and the mother bear did everything she could to keep him from the cubs. He got one after several days.
