They have strong legs with large, flattened feet with some webbing between their toes that help with walking on ice and swimming. The wide paws prevent sea ice from breaking by distributing weight while walking. The webbed feet results in making polar bears, unlike other bear species, considered to be “marine mammals” along with seals, sea lions, walruses, whales and dolphins.

Taxonomically, however, they are still bears. Polar bears eat dolphins as Arctic warms. Norwegian scientists have seen polar bears eating dolphins in the Arctic for the first time ever and blame global warming for the bears expanding their diet.

The first incident he documented was in April 2014 when his team came across a polar feeding on the carcasses of two white-beaked dolphins. Although dolphins are regularly seen in the Norwegian Arctic in the summer months when the ice has melted, they have never been observed during winter or spring when the sea is usually still covered in sheets of ice. “Even if they saw the bear, the dolphins did not necessarily have any other choice,” he said.
