Do people in Alaska live in igloos and have pet polar bears?

Answer 1

No. there are polor bears in Alaska but you cant have them as a pet (unless they are in a zoo where they are still acknowledged to be wild and dangerous animals). And the people there live in normal houses, much like every other state.

Jessiemartin11- ya i live in alaska and i live in a normal house and the only pet i have is a cat and a dog, no moose or polar bears. it is only snowy from october to march and during the summer most people ride four wheelers. Also it gets super pretty in the summer and not everyone is eskimo/ indian.( i just had to add that.) for instance i have blonde hair pale skin and brown eyes. Also we dont hunt each meal, the most hunting i've ever done is shooting a target, usually everyone stops at the local fred meyer, Walmart, etc. lots of people and most of my friends hunt for the fun of it and they hunt for the moose meat cause u cant buy that at a most stores, also they hunt for the moose's antlers or a bears hide. i live in fairbanks ak. I just thought i should add to the previous answer someone else wrote to give people more info on alaska, it is an amazing state to live in if u can handle really cold weather :D

Answer 2

Legally? No, unless they're a zookeeper or have other humane reasons.

Illegally? Only until the people are caught, or eaten by the polar bear.

I did know of a case where some native Alaskans adopted an orphaned cub, but when it got bigger, it became a problem and had to be sent out of the village.
