These bears are part of the Southern Beaufort Sea population, estimated at 900 animals. They use an area extending more than 800 miles along the north coasts of Alaska and Canada. The bears traditionally have spent much of their time on drifting pack ice--feeding, resting, and denning. However, an increasing number of bears now spend time on land while they wait for sea ice to form.
