The average walking speed of a polar bear is 5.5 kph (3.4 mph)

When being chased or charging prey, polar bears can run as fast as 40 kph (25 mph) for short distances


Polar bears are also called sea bears because of their awesome ability to swim and virtually live in water. They are capable of just over 6 mph of speed while swimming.

They are capable of staying days in water and actually enjoy this!! Their numbers are growing over the past several decades due to their wonderful ability to adapt to their environment.
They cant run because they r fat and they fall on their face (terd burgalar)
