Umm, the polar bear explanation was strongly alluded to in early season 2, and all but confirmed (indirectly) during season 3, and spelled out explicitly in season 5. Many of the mysteries/questions were handled this way, so odds are you just missed them.

The polar bear is explained multiple times. The finale has bigger things to address than the origin story of a random animal on the island.

Lmao yeah it was answered though. Comments like these are just obnoxious. 95% of the questions were or have answers the problem usually stems from the show making something seem like a big mystery and it turning out to be a lot less mysterious. Like the explanation for the polar bears

They don’t spoon feed you the answers, but >!The polar bears were imported by the Dharma Initiative for their experiments with the electromagnetic energy. They used a variety of animals for this. At the start of season 3 Kate and Sawyer are kept in their bear cages before Sawyer is sent to work on Jacob’s desired runway, which the second plane lands on. They sent one back in time to the place where you chronologically first see adult Charlotte, digging in the desert for a collar. This is the same place Ben teleports to after moving the island. The polar bears escaped or were let free after the Others chemical attack on the Dharma Initiative.!<
