I saw the picture in this thread a few years back:

In the thread there's also a picture of a U-boat crewman hunting sharks with a submachine gun - they needed fresh food in the boats

Sharks live in the ocean, however as far as I know polar bears don't

I heard that Wolfs lived in the ocean too, during WWII

The bear was shot during Operation Wunderland II 1943 which took place in the East Siberian Sea.
