HOME Polar bears live in the Arctic. They do not stay in one place, but travel across the snow and pack ice looking for food. Sometimes they swim far out to sea. They are the largest bears in the world.
Males are larger than the females.
A polar bear's coat can be from white to yellowish in color. When the bears come ashore in the summer they eat plants and even berries. In late summer and early autumm, the bears go along the coastline looking for dead whales and dead walruses. They will also eat lemmings, arctic foxes, and birds. Their favorite food is ringed seals.
