The main food of the polar bear is seals, without these animals polar bears can hardly survive.
Unlike other predators, bears often hunt alone in the spring, over thin Arctic ice caps.
Polar bears are very picky eaters. When eaten, they peel the seal and usually only eat the fat under the skin and knees. It is only when they are too hungry that they eat all the dead prey.
Often in the summer, due to the lack of seals to hunt, polar bears become omnivorous, eating almost anything they can find.
While hunting seals, polar bears glide gently into the water with their hind legs down first. As their prey approaches, they dive and then shoot upwards, surprising their prey and unable to escape. Sometimes they waited patiently on the ice holes and waited for the seals to emerge to breathe, they clung to each other.
