Polar bear males compete for access to females during the spring mating season. In the Hudson Bay area, males spar, or play fight (like 🎥⬇️), during the fall while they’re on land, waiting for the sea ice to return. This helps them test their own strength against other males.

In the Arctic, temps can plunge to -40º or -46º C (-50º F) in winter & stay that way for days or weeks. But polar bears are built for those conditions. A thick layer of fat is key to survival. Learn why they can't survive long-term on terrestrial foods: pbears.org/45v7LGA
