Do polar bears travel to get their food?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. During the summer, they come ashore and forge for berries and eat plants. However plant resources are diminishing and competition for them increasing. During the winter, polar bears hunt Ringed Seal on ice floes, and as both are decreasing due to global warming, one could say the polar bears will not have sufficient food over the next decades.

Answer 2

Yes, Polar Bears are the only species of mammal (north of the Equator) that can survive without food. Using special receptors in their fur follicles, they can draw energy directly from Solar radiation. This is why their fur appears white to the human eye.

In fact, their fur is so energy efficient, that they do not actually need to eat food similar to other mammals. Scientists believe they do so only as a way of venting aggression.

Answer 3

No.
As with most mammals food is stored in the fat cells of the body.

Answer 4

Yes, Polar Bears have been known to travel to cities to dig through dumpsters and find scraps when food is scarce in their homeland.

Answer 5

For short term use, yes they do. But this includes carcasses mainly of prey species, which are covered up and returned to later.

Answer 6

As with most mammals food is stored in the fat cells of the body.
