Polar bears are primarily carnivores, and though vegetation does grow in the Arctic region where it lives, it's not large nor significant enough to sustain a polar bear enough. Vegetation in the Arctic is sparce and very small and often only enough that a tough herbivore like a caribou, lemming or muskox can sustain itself on, but certainly not a large animal like a polar bear.

Although primarily carnivores, polar bears do consume some plant matter such as berries and even kelp.
