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!

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.

The life expectancy of a polar bear can be up to 30 years in the wild and 40 years in captivity. I sincerly hope this helps.
