What is the lifespan of polar bears?

Answer 1

These bears are though to live no more than 15 to eighteen years, but new tagging devises have allowed biologists to find a few bears that are in their early 30's. This has lead to some dispute about what age they will live to in the wild. In captivity the generally live a lot longer and reach mid to late 30's. One polar bear in a London zoo lived to the ripe old age of 41 years old!

Answer 2

In human terms, not very long. In the wild, polar bears live an average 15 to 18 years, although biologists have tagged a few bears in their early 30s. In captivity, they may live until their mid- to late 30s. Debby, a zoo bear in Canada, lived to be 42.

Answer 3
