How do polar bears make burrows?

Polar bears typically do not make burrows like some other animals; instead, they often create snow dens for shelter, particularly during the breeding season or when nursing cubs. They utilize their powerful forelimbs to dig into the snow, creating a sheltered area that provides insulation and protection from the harsh Arctic environment. These dens can be used by mothers to give birth and raise their cubs until they are ready to venture outside. The dens are usually located on sea ice or in snowdrifts, allowing the bears to remain concealed from potential threats.

Where do polar bears build their dens?

The female Polar Bear when pregnant will enter a den to have cubs, and stay there until they are born. On cold days they may dig a hole, curl up and even cover their nose with a paw. On warm days, they pant, may sleep anywhere in almost any position, and may be sprawled out with unfurred foot pads waving in the air, looking more like a jellyfish than the ultimate arctic carnivore. Also, in the dark winter, they may burrow into the snow to help keep warm. In the summer, they may burrow into the earth to get away from the sun and keep cool. Sometimes they'll hide from the wind behind an ice wall or something similar
