The gestation period is 240 days (8 months) and the cubs are born in early winter in a cave dug by the mother in deep snow in October. Usually, two cubs are born, less often one or three; litters of four cubs have been recorded. Like other Ursus bears, the cubs are very small at birth, typically 30 cm long and weighing 700 g.

The gestation period of the polar bear is between 7 and 8 months depending on how harsh the weather is.

Polar bears are normally solitary animals and only come together at mating times. Gestation is normally about 8~9 months with a litter of up to 4 and stay with their mother for up to a year, hence a breeding pattern of every 2 years.
