Are polar bears monogamous or polygamous?
Since the root "gamy-" denotes marriage, meaning, among nonhumans, simply union, I suppose we should say that bears are "agamous," that is, have no marriages. Males and females meet to mate and then the female raises the cubs alone. A forced choice would be for monogamy, although this implies that the breeding couple stay together, like swans, or rejoin the same partners like penguins and many other birds. Bears don't do this.
You might notice that all my "monogamy" examples are birds. This is no accident; most avian (bird) species are monogamy, whereas most mammalian species (like bears) are polygamous or "agamous."

Can a man love you without being your friend?
Umm, not exactly. In order to be in love with another a simple progression must exist. First, acknowledge the other person, make friends with the other person, and if both people have similair likes, dislikes, needs and wants then, and only then can they become in love. Being a person's friend means sharing similair interests and having the same perspective on life. If you are not friends with this person and if this person does not view you as a friend, then the concept of love in this case does not exist. Hope this helped... Viola.

They are found in good numbers in areas where their primary prey, the Seals mate and nest.
