Camouflaging

These animals can camouflage easily because the fur blends in with the icebergs and ice. Unfortunately the Adult polar bears have no choice but to kill other polar bears for food. It can even be their family members! Even baby polar who are harmless bears have to be a prey to wolves fox and many more.

Yes, polar bears do hibernate by scratching its body on the ice or on each other. They also hibernate by sleeping with each other closely in a deep sleep and rubbing themselves on other polar bears. Even the cub hug and rub against their little brothers or sisters. Isn’t that something new. By the way let’s move ahead.

Lifecycle

The polar bear's life cycle is closely tied to sea ice. Polar bears rely on the ice to travel, hunt seals, breed, and in some cases, den. Scientists believe polar bears are unlikely to survive if ice-free periods exceed their fasting ability (220 days), especially in areas that lack alternate marine mammal prey.
