Best Answer

They ate polar bears because it was there staple food

Another opinion:The above answer is wrong. Inuit's staple diet is caribou, fish and seals, not polar bears. The only time Inuit ate a polar bear is if they happened to kill one that was threatening their lives, homes and livelihood, and even that was not common.
