They use varied foods, smells, toys and sounds to change what they experience every day. You may see Nuniq playing with balls, barrels, logs, or straw — they have a lot of options! Nuniq has a wide choice of food items. Herring, capelin, trout, polar bear kibble, lard and a selection of fruits and vegetables are all on the menu.
Seasonally, polar bear weights fluctuate widely just as they would in the Arctic. In summer months, polar bears weigh much less because they are unable to hunt seals on the ice.
