The polar bear (Ursus maritimus), also known as the white bear, northern bear, or sea bear, is a large bear native to the Arctic. It is one of the two largest land carnivore species and the apex predator within its range. It is well-adapted to its habitat: its thick blubber and fur insulate it against the cold and its translucent fur (which appears white or cream-coloured) camouflages it from its prey. The polar bear hunts well on land and on the sea ice, as well as in the water.

You've already got useful informations and links. But this you won't find easily:
Polar bears hunt mainly on ice. As there's less ice due to global warming, the hunting season becomes shorter, and thus the life of polar bears is endangered.
