Polar Bears mainly eat ringed seals or bearded
seals.
When there are
no seals to eat, they eat other marine mammals, such as reindeer, small
rodents, sea birds, ducks,
fish, eggs,
vegetation, berries, and human garbage. Once in while, they’ll feed on young
walruses or beluga whales.
Polar Bears
need two kilograms of fat each day to survive and a ringed seal weighing up to
fifty-five pounds could
satisfy these
bears for up to eight days.
Once
a bear catches its prey, it eats the skin and fat first and then the meat.
Often times, polar bears will
stop during
feeding by using some water nearby or the snow. Usually polar bears don’t eat
their entire meal. The
remains are
left to other bears, artic foxes, and gulls.
Killer whales also known as Orcas prey
on polar bears. They have powerful jaws that can
instantly these bears. These
animals are the only predators polar bears have because of their
superiority in the food chain.
