Polar Bear Mother & Cub

Where do polar bears live? Polar bears are forever linked to the Arctic sea ice, where they hunt their seal prey. The bears are found in five nations: the U.S. (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland, and Norway (Svalbard). Scientists have divided them into 19 populations, some of which are shared by more than one country.
