It describes the difference between the bear’s quiet movement above the ice and the loud, thunder-like sound its footsteps make to prey below. The text follows a specific hunt sequence: finding a breathing hole, waiting for hours, and then switching tactics when the seal surfaces to sleep and bask, culminating in careful stalking and freezing behavior when the seal looks around.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/polar-bears-on-the-hunt-a-new-strategy/428498/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/polar-bears-on-the-hunt-a-new-strategy/428498.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"WPS_1790064749","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-07","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How

ice.However,underneath the ice,it's a different story.To a ringed seal,a polar bear's footstepssound like thunder.Theice cracks a little with eachheavy step.When a polarbear is on the move,a sealknows to stay out of sight.  \nPolar bears usually hunt onsea ice.How loud are theirfootsteps above ice?  \nThis polar bear is looking for a hole in the ice.Sealsneed to surface to breathe approximately every fifteenminutes.They cut large holes in the ice with the clawson their flippers.They use the holes to pop up for air.The polar bear finds one of these holes.It waits for thebest time to strike.The bear waits for hours.But noseal comes up for air at this spot.  \nA POLAR BEAR WAITS By A HOLEFOR A SEAL TO SURFACE.  \n## A New Strategy\n\nThe bear is hungry,and he has not eaten in a week.Hetries a new strategy.He catches sight of a ringed seal inthe distance.The seal has surfaced to sleep and baskin the sun.The bear drops down to his belly.He crawlsslowly toward the seal,stalking it.The seal raises itshead every so often to look for predators.When the sealdoes this,the bear freezes.Since the bear's coat blendsin with the ice and snow,the seal does not see it.","cbCail0chUiparzb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail0chUiparzb","pdf",2501756,"English","# On the Hunt\n## A New Strategy\n## Polar Bear Fact File\n## Glossary\n## Learn More about Polar Bears\n##
