Answer 1

Do polar bears hibernate?
Female polar bears (sows) do lightly hibernate when they are pregnant. Only pregnant sows hibernate, because they need to save their energy while they wait to give birth. While the other polar bears may start to hunt out on the ice in October or November, sows head inland to a den to rest until they give birth in about January.

Something not often considered with polar bears is that they are on a very different cycle than other bears. While a black bear eats all spring, summer and fall, then hibernates in the lean winter months, polar bears have the opposite schedule. Polar bears, hunt seals out on the ice, so they need cold temperatures - winter is feast time, and summer is the lean time of year to live off their fat.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_Bear
" Polar bears do not hibernate, though the lactating females will not emerge from their cave while the cubs are very young. The mother will not have eaten for nine months, thus relying on stored body fat (also known as blubber) for both her own nutrition and that of the cubs"
