Polar bears [[hibernate]] through much of the winter, usually in an excavated snow den. Their normal diet consists mainly of [[seal]]s, though in Canada they have been observed to take prey as small as [[lemming]]s. A large polar [[bear]] can stand 11 feet tall and weigh more than 700 pounds, and are one of the few land animals that will attack humans unprovoked.
