Expert Answer

A polar bear’s main food is seals, including ringed, bearded, harp, and hooded seals. They also prey on walruses, belugas, seabirds, and fish, and occasionally eat berries or plant roots in summer.

Before hibernation, polar bears mostly eat seals, whose rich fat provides the energy needed during the dormant period. Their ability to survive in the cold comes largely from storing large amounts of energy, as the body fat supplies heat and insulation.
