Polar bear and reindeer hunting in Greenland still occur but are regulated to avoid endangering the populations.

Polar bears are believed rarely to travel beyond about 82 ° North owing to the scarcity of food, though tracks have been seen in the vicinity of the North Pole, and a 2006 expedition reported sighting a polar bear just from the Pole.

Polar bears can breed with brown bears to produce fertile grizzly – polar bear hybrids, rather than indicating that they have only recently diverged, the new evidence suggests more frequent mating has continued over a longer period of time, and thus the two bears remain genetically similar.

The population of polar bears are locally recovering from the major culls of the 1960s and 1970s that came about due to the availability of snow scooters ; however, the Polar bear remains threatened at a global level, due to unsustainable levels of killing by humans and due to marine water pollution.

It is the third largest land carnivore ( behind only the Polar bear and the Brown bear ).
