Are polar bears nice to each other?

Answer 1

No not really, they are solitary animals most of the time. Mother and cubs and sub-adult males and females spend time together during a certain time of the year. Sub-adult males and females, and adult males spend considerable time interacting in social play, developing fighting skills and establishing hierarchy. Sub-adult males suffer the greatest Death Rate from starvation and from adult male bears, and are considered the most dangerous because they are not fully capable hunters and are more likely to be aggressive around human installations that may have easily available food.
Polar bears constantly travel in search of food, and cover such a large range that they don't have a territory. However, they are not social. Also, when mother polar bears encounter males, they will attack and drive them off in order to defend their cubs (polar bear males will kill cubs if they can because the female will be ready to mate sooner if the cubs die).

Answer 2

Polar Bears will fight over their kill, they don't share well. Sometimes, but not often, two males of about the same age, will reach a female in season at the same time. If intimidation doesn't work, they will fight for the female, this can be dangerous, and serious injury can occur. But usually one bear will retreat after the first few testing blows, if they are not evenly matched, rather than risk serious injury, and impaired hunting abilities. Some young male Polar Bears play fight for learning purposes, and gaining place in the pecking order. Most cubs play fight with their cub mates to acquire the skills to hunt, to survive, and to establish a pecking order. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

Answer 3

Really? Does this question really need to be asked? Do polar bears, those blood stained, baby seal killing beasts defend themselves? why don't you ask all of those dead seals/walruses if they defend themselves?
