What do adult polar bears eat?
The average adult Polar Bear, is an eating machine. They need to eat as often as possible, and as much rich sources of fatty foods as are available. The are carnivores, but they will eat kelp, berries, and other oddities, when the pickings are slim. Such as birds, waterfowl, eggs, reindeer, and small rodents. Their preferred food is the seal. But that doesn't keep them from hunting walrus, and caribou. Also, the Polar Bear is not above scavenging, and in fact, makes many meals from the carcasses of beached whales, including the seaweed embedded rotten blubber. They can be very patient hunters, and will wait for hours, completely motionless, at a seal's breathing hole in the ice, just for the chance to snag a seal when it pops up for air. The Polar Bears depend largely on the Ringed, and Bearded Seal, considering on the Polar Bears location. They may also take Harp, and Hooded Seals. While of course, scavenging the whales that are available in that area. This could include the Beluga, and the Bowhead. Polar Bears have been known to kill the Beluga Whales, and young Walruses.

Have they started relocating the polar bears to Antarctica?
No, "they" haven't relocated polar bears to Antarctica. Right now Antarctica is melting faster than ever before. Penguin populations are diminishing drastically for lack of food. Whales populations are diminishing in that area for lack of food. If we were to introduce polar bears to Antarctica, they would quickly deplete the penguin population who currently have no natural predators.
