3. Polar bears have the same eyesight and hearing as humans, but their sense of smell is so sensitive that they can capture the smell within a radius of 1 kilometer or 1 meter under ice and snow, which is 7 times that of dogs, and the fastest running speed is 60km/h, which is 1.5 times that of the world 100-meter champion.

Can polar bears hibernate?

Polar bears hibernate.

Polar bears go out for a long time without eating in the severe winter, when they look for shelter and sleep, and their respiratory rate decreases into local hibernation; polar bears only do not eat or drink for a long period of time, not throughout winter, and polar bears seem to sleep when they hibernate and wake up immediately in case of an emergency.

What does the polar bear like to eat?

1. Polar bears are authentic predators. 98.5% of their food is meat, which mainly preys on seals, as well as walruses, beluga whales, seabirds, fish, small mammals, and sometimes cleaning carrion. In late spring and summer, they will go to the seaside to pick up seaweed to replenish their minerals and vitamins, and occasionally eat berries or plant roots in summer.

2. There are two main modes for polar bears to catch seals. The first is to find the seal's breathing hole on the ice in advance, and then wait for the seal's appearance to launch a sudden attack. If the seal is on the shore, they will hide out of sight of the seal and then creep up and attack; the second is to dive directly under the ice and do not attack until the seal is close to the shore.

3. The polar bear's stomach can hold 50 to 70 kilograms of food. after eating and drinking, the polar bear will carefully clean the hair and remove the food residue and blood. they will not hide the unfinished food and wait to eat it later. even after eating fat, high-calorie fat is more important than meat, not only to maintain the fat layer for warmth, but also to store energy when food is scarce.
