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!!!

They’re very helpless and are born with their eyes closed.

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.

POLAR BEAR CUBS:

ADULT POLAR BEARS:

Polar bears start mating every other year in mid-summer.

After that, they’re on their own in the wild. They mostly eat seals, although they can

also eat fish, seabirds, even reindeer! If they’re desperate in the summer for food,

they may eat berries and plants! After that, they mate, reproduce, and the

cycle starts all over again!
