I want to know how polar bears figured out that they need an air hole in their dens. Is that passed down instinctually or demonstratively? Animals are so cool.

Bear who made more holes survived?

Btw, don't they get snowed shut?

I think the heat produced by the bears keep the vents open, but that's an un-educated guess.
