Title: The Polar Bear Life Cycle

The Polar Bear Life Cycle
By Sanjana Ramchandran

Birth
  • Cubs are born from Nov.Jan. in a den. They stay
    there with their mother until spring.
  • Weight About 1 lb.
  • Polar bear cubs are so tiny at birth that they
    can fit in the palm of your hand!!!
  • Theyre very helpless and are born with their
    eyes closed. ?

Polar Bear Cubs
  • There are usually 2 cubs per litter
  • Mother polar bears are VERY protective of their
    young
  • Open their eyes within a month
  • Start walking at two mos.
  • Start eating solid food at 3-4 mos.
  • Learn to hunt from watching their mom
  • I was very sad to find out that when cubs are
    about 30 mos. old, an adult male may start
    following the mom. At this time, the mom or the
    male will chase away the cubs. ???

Adult Polar Bears
  • Polar bears start mating every other year in
    mid-summer.
  • After that, theyre on their own in the wild. ?
  • They mostly eat seals, although they can also eat
    fish, seabirds, even reindeer!
  • If theyre desperate in the summer for food, they
    may eat berries and plants!
  • After that, they mate, reproduce, and the cycle
    starts all over again!
