Diet POLAR BEARS TEND TO EAT DEPENDING ON OTHER ANIMALS' MIGRATION PATTERNS. THEY EAT ARTIC FOXES, RAVEN, SEALS AND WHALES WHEN SEALS ARE UNAVAILABLE. THEY LIKE SEALS BECAUSE THEY CAN BUILD UP FATS. BEARS NEED FATS TO SPEND MONTHS IN STARVATION DURING DENNING IS A PROCESS WHERE AN ANIMAL RETREATS TO A DEN. This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NC.

Migration autumn polar bear migration to Churchill, Manitoba in Canada. At this time of year the bears will be waiting for expanses of sea to freeze over so they can return to hunting seals. Polar bears, the iconic victims of climate change, are shifting their migration patterns because of changes in sea ice. The bears are arriving on land earlier and departing later, a new study found, and it's threatening their access to food.

Habitat Home for the polar bears is on the sea ice. Most Polar bears are well adapted to survive in harsh and very cold environments on earth. The polar bears habitat consists of burrows made with snow. It is in the Arctic Circle and near land masses. The polar bears can be found in many regions around the world including the U. S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Norway.

Reproduction Female Polar Bears are mature for mating between the ages of 4 to 6 years of age. For the males it is typically around 6 years of age but most of the time they won’t be able to compete with other males and mate until they are from 8 to 10 years of age. Mating occurs from March until June on the ice. While Polar Bears are isolated animals most of the time, during mating season they will be found in numbers. They tend to congregate in the locations best known for seal hunting to occur. The males are known to follow the tracks of the females for many miles, but there isn’t any information that experts have about what triggers the males to do so.

Sleep patterns Polar bears can sleep at any time of the day. When they are bit lethargic and they need a nap, polar bears will dig a shallow pit in the snow that mostly occurs on the lee side of the pressure ridge and lie down. This Photo by Unknown author is licensed under CC BY-ND.
