This species is the most carnivorous of all bears, although they eat a very small part of vegetables during the Arctic summer in the tundra. They swim easily (sometimes hundreds of kilometers), but capture their prey on land or on ice, being the dominant predators of their habitat.

There are currently 5 of the 19 species of polar bears in a state of vulnerability. This is due to the decrease in numbers of its population. It is worrying that if that continues, they will be extinguished. Part of the problem has to do with the fact that polar bears have been constantly hunted for decades. There were no restrictions and the challenge of hunting them was very inspiring for hunters around the world.

Males compete aggressively with each other for the right to mate with females. There is a tendency of selection when polar bears move towards food hunting areas during the times of the year. Males will have a female in their mind to mate and fight with others who want to be with her. Some of these males have walked more than 100 miles to mate with a female whose smell they felt.
