The tiny polar bears are usually born from late November to early January in the form of twins. The second most common type of birth is a single birth, or singleton. When they are born in late November to early January, it follows a two-month pregnancy after the egg was implanted into the uterus in mid-September to mid-October. Even though the egg is not implanted until then, the mating most often occurs in April and May. After the long mating and birthing process though, comes a small polar bear ready to mature into a large polar bear like its parents. .
As a twenty-five centimeter cub, the polar bear is born with its eyes shut with a layer of fine hair, so thin that it almost appears hairless, covering their entire body. The time that a young polar bear remains with its mother varies depending on the location, but the most frequent age that a cub leaves its mother is at two and a half years. When this happens, and the bear goes off on its own, the first year is usually the hardest, seeing how they are young and naive. Eventually at age four or five though, the age at which females are just about full-grown and when they have almost mastered the art of hunting, they being to mature sexually. Most females at this time are ready to produce young, therefore they proceed in mating and producing them, however, the majority of males do not begin to actually mate until they reach about eight to ten years of age, when they are full grown. The polar bear continues to live its life mating, hunting, and changing until it reaches the mid to late twenties where their life usually ends. It is uncommon for a polar bear in the wild to live up to more than thirty years. .
