北极熊会在寒冷的海岸线或是平原上游荡寻找食物。它们通常会从冰洞里捕捉海豹来吃,但是如果被激怒的话,会攻击任何生物。与绝大部分动物不同,北极熊很少会表现出恐惧,并且是极地环境下危险的清道夫。它们可以跳入冰水中轻易的躲避危险,它们常常会这样做,而不会纠缠于每一次威胁。北极熊身上的脂肪给予它们很大的浮力,而它们的长脖子可以保持头部露出水面。巨大的带蹼手掌能提供很好的推进力,每天北极熊可以游大约100 英里的路程。一些极地部落的猎人捕猎北极熊作为重要的食物来源,并用它们的毛皮和骨头制造衣物和重要工具。因此很多文化中北极熊都是神圣的,会有特殊的仪式和庆典来荣耀它死亡。北极熊的平均年龄大概为15–20 岁,但是基地的居民知道有些个别的熊能够活到40 岁。作为游荡在冰原上最大的动物捕食者之一,成年公北极熊的重量能到800–1200 磅,母熊则能有350–650 磅。

Polar bears swim along frigid coasts and wander icy plains looking for preymost notably the seals they pluck from holes in the ice. A polar bear's blubber gives it buoyancyand its long neck helps keep its head above water. Oversized paws with webbed toes propel it steadily through the icy seasand a polar bear can swim more than 100 miles in a single day.

While easily able to avoid conf lict by plunging into the frigid ocean swells that surround their lairspolar bears are notoriously fearlessand will attack nearly any creature if they feel threatened or desperate. This makes them particularly dangerous scavengers around arctic settlementsthough a rare few civilizations hunt polar bearsboth for their meat and for the furs and bones that can be fashioned into clothes and vital tools. Many of these cultures hold polar bears sacredhonoring their deaths with solemn rituals and ceremonies.

Polar bears live an average of 15 to 20 yearsbut arctic peoples have known individual bears to live as long as 40 yearsoften assuming legendary status in local lore. An adult male polar bear can weigh 800 to 1,200 poundswith females weighing 350 to 650 pounds.
