Polar bears depend on the high-fat content in seal fat. The bears prey on both ringed and bearded seals across their range, but will take other prey when available. Polar bears respond to seasonal changes and the distribution of seals and sea ice. In food-rich areas, they have smaller home ranges and their habitat often overlaps with other bears. polar bears fur is actually transparent the snow makes it the perfect white.Polar bears in sea-ice regions with hard-to-reach prey travel farther and take longer to feed.Polar bears in these areas are faring well now, but scientists predict that ice in these areas will disappear within 75 years—and, with it, resident polar bear populations—unless action is taken to reduce carbon emissions.
