In the wild, the main diet of a Polar bear is seal, due to its high fat content. Here at Sea World, our Polar Bears are second generation zoo born, and therefore they eat a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, breads and cereals, fish (mackerel, mullet, pilchards and tuna), meat (beef, kangaroo, rabbit, horse, chicken), dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese), eggs, and syrups (caramel, chocolate, honey, strawberry). The bears also have treats that they are given occasionally or during training sessions. These include museli bars, peanut butter sandwiches, marshmallows, or ice cream. They eat twice a day, once in the morning and late afternoon, and consume on average approximately 15 kilograms per day.
