What Makes Polar Bears White
Posted in CSR

Polar bears have a thick layer of fur that helps them survive in the cold Arctic environment.

The fur is made up of two layers, an outer layer of long, transparent guard hairs and an inner layer of short, dense underfur.

The guard hairs are hollow and reflect light, which gives the polar bear its white appearance. The underfur is also white, which helps to insulate the bear and keep it warm.

In addition to their fur, polar bears also have black skin. The black skin helps to absorb heat from the sun, which is important for keeping the bear warm.

The skin is covered with a layer of fur, which helps to protect it from the cold.

The combination of white fur and black skin is an adaptation that helps polar bears survive in their environment.

The white fur provides camouflage in the snow and ice, making it easier for the bear to sneak up on prey.

The black skin helps to absorb heat, which is important for keeping the bear warm in the cold Arctic environment.
