The main diet of the polar bear is ringed seal, sea hare and other marine animals.
He catches them sneaking up from behind shelters, and guards the seal near the holes: as soon as the animal appears from the water, the bear stuns the prey with a blow of its paw and pulls it onto the ice.According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Polar Bear Specialist Group, there are between 22,000 and 31,000 polar bears in the world.
Most of all - in the eastern sector of the Arctic (in Canada and off the coast of Alaska).
Three subpopulations of the species live in Russia: the Kara-Barents Sea (about 1 thousand); 27 Feb.
