The female is only half the size of a male which is why it can barely fight with the mature male. The camouflaging ability is pretty effective not only in polar bear cubs-it also protects the female polar bear from powerful dominant males. Polar bears are blessed with a dense white coat that almost makes the bear disappears into the white snowy background of the Arctic.

A Polar bear female is about to give birth any time sooner. They just enter into a torpor state in which they can recover quickly and actively respond to predators and so they are not really vulnerable even during deep sleep.

Just to let you know that polar bears are not true hibernators.

They ought to choose quite many actions to prevent themselves from predators such as wolves and foxes.

Although adult polar bears are strong enough to take down any arctic predator, the subadult bears let alone cubs are not that safe.

We’re going to discuss as to how do polar bears protect themselves from predators. Sometimes aggressive male polar bears eat their cubs particularly when they are starving. Polar bears do certain things that protect themselves from probable predators.

Nonetheless, polar bear cubs are quite vulnerable to the dominant male bears. Polar Bears are not part of normal human diet yet humans have been hunting polar bears for centuries. This common predator of top predators is human. Adult bears do not seem to have any potential predators in the wild. For every top predator in the world whether it is a tiger, lion, shark or polar bear there is always one predator that has been hunting and killing them all.

Polar bears sit at the top of the food chain in the Arctic-they are the apex predators.
