Polar bears are solitary and free-ranging. They do not live in organized groups, except when a mother is with her cubs. Although they do sometimes congregate together for breeding or feeding, in which case the group is called a Celebration.


OK, that one did not last long.

they hear ultrasound frequencies with their feet. Standing on 3 feet allows them to get a direction of the sound
