Polar bears eat seals. Seals swim faster than bears do, so the bears need a big area of ice floating on the sea. The bear waits by a hole in the ice. When a seal comes up through the hole for air, the bear is ready. Polar bears need food, and that's why they need ice. I don't know why or whether they need snow.

Why is melting sea ice such a threat to the polar bears?
Melting sea ice is a threat to the polar bears because without the sea ice the polar bears predators will see them and swim away.
How do polar bears cause global warming?
Polar bears do not cause global warming. In fact, polar bears are affected by global warming due to the shrinking of their sea ice habitat. The loss of sea ice reduces their hunting grounds and threatens their survival.
What season do polar bears not eat?
Polar bears main eat seals, which they hunt from the ice. During summer, when much of the sea ice melts, polar bears find ift difficult to find food.
What are some consumers in the polar ice biome?

Are there polar bears in Labrador?

This contributes to the polar bears endangerment?
global warming, melting of sea ice...
How could polar bears become extinct?
by global warming...Sea ice losses in the Arctic fromglobal warmingare the major threat to polar bears. Polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting, breeding, and in some cases, denning. In 2012,summer ice lossesin the Arctic were larger than the size of the United States.
In what sea do you find polar bears?
Polar bears are found, not in the ocean, but in the land and ice floes surrounding the Arctic Ocean.
Are polar bear caves in glaciers?
No. Polar bears really don't live in caves, they live out on the sea ice.
How is a rising sea level affecting the polar bear?
Polar bears aren't much troubled by the rising sea levels, as they aren't particularly interested in what goes on at the coastline anyhow. The big problem for the polar bears is the temperature. The warmer it gets, the longer it takes for the ice to form. and polar bears use the ice sheet to hunt for seals from.
Would a polar bear live comfortably in Hawaii?
No because it is hot in Hawaii. Polar Bears only live in the Polar Regions of the World.no
