What would a polar bear look like in an open sea?
white
Would polar bears survive in open sea?
Unlike dolphins, polar bears cannot swim forever. They have to come to the land eventually. Also, they use floating pieces of ice as a base from which to hunt seals. It is harder for them to hunt in the open sea. So no, polar bears would not survive in the open sea, at least, not in the long term.
How old is the polar bear before they can see?
Polar Bears generally can see at the age of 10 months old. This can vary from each individual bear but generally the average age is 10 months
Why do polar bears have small jaws?
They have small jaws because their "cheek skin" stretches and although their jaw is small, they could open it wide. Therefore, they mix in and the polar bear could open it's mouth wide.
What do polar bears need to change to live in the open sea?
A polar bear would have to change: -It's body fat/hair so it wouldn't drag it down. -Webbed feet to swim better.
How can orcas kill polar bears?
Yes. Polar Bears are full capable of killing a beluga whale. A female polar bear can kill a beluga by it's self!!!! Amazing!!!! In fact, due to the melting polar ice caps many polar bears are forced into the waters to kill their prey. There are less sea lions, seals, etc. for them to hunt and eat so they are turning to whales such as the Beluga. Polar bears have even crossed oceans seeking out food due to global warming. Research global warming and its effect on the polar bear for more information.
What sort things does a polar bear eat?
A polar bear is a carnivore, and will mainly eat seals caught out on the icepack. If the prey is young and unprotected by adults, a hungry polar bear may attempt to isolate a young walrus from the herd, as an adult is too big. Narwal and beluga whales are sometimes trapped by ice and the whales are forced to keep a breathing hole open in the ice to breath. If a whale strays too close to the ice edge, a polar bear may try to catch the whale and haul it out of the water - sometimes being successful, but usually the attempt ends in failure.When the ice has retreated, a hungry polar bear has been known to scavenge on carcases cast up on land from the sea.
What does the design of the polar bears eyes help it to do?
The Polar Bear has eyes with an additional inner eyelid, or second eyelid. This makes it possible for the Polar Bear to be exposed to the glare of the sun on the ice and snow, without blinding them. They also keep their eyes open under water, and can see very well under water. For more details, please see sites listed below.
Do sharks eat Polar bears?
A shark will attack anything that struggles in the water.I've never heard of sharks eating Polar bears, although they might attack one if they catch up with one as it's drowning. Otherwise, the Polar bear would fight back, and because sharks are scavengers, they don't like to fight for their food.Orcas (Killer whales) ARE known to prey upon Polar bears."no they can not the shark and the polar bear are both predators which means te polar bear might kill the shark with its sharp claws and because sharks swim in warm water not cold"Polar bears rarely make kills on their main prey, seals, in open water. What makes you think a polar bear would be able to kill a SHARK in open water. 8 species of sharks have been spotted in the arctic region. Of these sharks the most likely to be found sharing the water with a polar bear is the Greenland Shark. This shark is one of the largest species of sharks and patrols underneath arctic ice sheets for fish, seals, and small whales. Sharks are opportunistic feeders and will "inspect" anything that is struggling in the water. A struggling polar bear could well make for a target for this shark, though there is no video evidence that I could find to prove it. Do sharks eat polar bears? Not really, they are clearly not a main prey source. Could a polar bear make for a target of opportunity for a shark? Absolutely, somewhere at some time a shark has eaten a polar bear. Guaranteed.
Are there doves in Antarctica?
No. No doves exist in the polar areas.Doves require open land and bare ground upon which to feed and to survive. No such geographical areas exist in Antarctica.
Do polar bears swim to get food?
Yes, polar bears are EXCELLENT swimmers. They can swim for Miles at a time. They travel to "better" locations to hunt for food. When there is open water between them and their destination, they swim. Their favorite food, the Seal, however, can outswim a polar bear, or dive deep to evade them. So it would be very rare for a bear to catch a Seal in the water. They usually surprise a Seal at its breathing hole.
Can you show me a polar bear?
There are many sites that have pictures and videos available even live animal cameras are open to the public at some Zoos, and other wildlife areas. For some pictures of Polar Bears, and other Arctic animals, please see sites listed below.
