What happens to a bear's body when it hibernates?

Firstly, an animal reacts to the weather, which tells it whether winter is coming or not and whether or not it should prepare for hibernation. If the signs foretell winter is on its way, the animal, lets say a toad, goes to find somewhere which is warm, sheltered and possibly hidden (away from predators). When it finds it, for eg. a log/stone pile or a compost heap, it settles down, and it falls into a very deep sleep- its heart rate plummets to the bare minimum to keep it alive, its brain activitiy slows down incredibly, and its breathing is very slow, shallow and light- barely alive. Through that time through winter, it stays in this state until it senses the weather wariming up, indicating spring has arrived, in whicch the toad will go offin search of a pond to mate. There are some very strange cases in animals that hibernate, one of which very much interested me. It is of a caterpillar, that is in hibernation for most of the year, and it lives in the Arctic Tundra. When it senses the very short spring is coming to an end, in which it had guzzled as much vegetation as it possibly could, it would go find a place that's sheltered, for example under a stone or similar, and it wouyld sitthere, and began hibernating- details decribed above. Then the interesting thing happens. The temperatures get to absolutely freezing levels, down to -65 or more degrees! So the caterpillar, all snug, practically dies under that rock or wherever- it actually freezes solid! On a documentary by David Attenborough, time lapse photography showed this amazing phenomena occuring- it was amazing! Forgot what the brilliant caterpillar was called though.

Does a bear eat other bears?

Polar Bears are alot like humans: Eat other animals, starts a baby then grows into an adult, and mammals. They also are like us because if it is a cannibal Polar Bear then yes it would, but that would be if it ran out of all other food options. So that's rare, because they eat Seals, Whales, Narwhols, a few other sea creatures, and if none of that is available, rodents. So it's rare, but yes, on a rare occasion a Polar Bear will eat another Polar Bear.

Adult males will often kill and consume cubs, especially if unguarded by the female.

What is the bite force of a bear in psi?

It's depending in which bear do you referring grizzly bear (a sub specie of the Brown bear) can exert a bite force of over 1,200 psi (over 540 kilograms) polar Bear can exert a bite force of over 440 psi (over 200 kg of force i give you this Result from the national geographic wild channel from the bio mechanical program Called ''i,predator'')

In my opinion polar bear can bite down with much stronger force like the grizzly or Slight harder because the polar bear(polar bears are larger in size in compression To the Grizzlies and have much stronger and thicker jaws compare to the grizzles And That's includes their sharper,longer canines) can bite through the skull of it's Prey which if some animal can do that she needs a lot of force to do so (like the Jaguar That can bite down with a force between 1,800 psi - 2,000 psi).

I,predator perhaps do an assumption to the polar bears bite force because they Couldn't (probably) measured the biteforce,they said the polar bears have one of The strongest and most deadliest jaws on the planet.
