Yes. The fur has individual hairs that are transparent (clear) and hollow. They look white because of the way light reflects on the clear fur. The hollow hairs hold air that helps to insulate the bears from the harsh extreme temperatures of the Arctic.
Yes. It has recently been discovered by scientists that when you look at it side on you can see straight to the polar bears skin, however when you look at it straight on you can only partly see the polars skin. Hope I helped ;)
Polar bears have transparent fur over black skin. Reflection of the sunlight from the densely packed transparent hairs makes polar bears seem to be white.
The polar bear's fur is only clear when it is in a few strands. When it is piled on top of itself, if reflects all light and becomes white, much like sugar crystals.
Bears, like all mammals, have some hollow bones in which the hollow is filled with marrow.
it keeps warm air in their fur
yes they are very soft and furry!!
If it has hair then obviously it's furry.
No. Polar bears have "hollow" fur, not coyotes.
Hollow fur means that each hair is a clear hollow tube which reflects the light. Some of the animals that have hollow fur are polar bears, alpacas, and reindeers.
Polar bears actually have translucent hollow fur, as such that it is so thick that it is reflected back to us as white.
it does change colour. Polar bears have fur that is made up of "hollow guard hairs." Sometimes when polar bears live in zoos that are in a warmer climate, they can have algae growing inside the hollow guard hairs of their fur. This makes them have a greenish tint to their fur. These hollow hairs also keep their hair from matting down when they swim in water. owned.
Hollow, insulating fur and webbed feet are two functional adaptations of Polar bears.
yes, polar bears have fur.
Polar Bears have fur that is made up of "Hollow Guard Hairs". Now don't ask me what that is.......cause I coppied this answer off somewhere.
their white fur help them blend in with the snow polar bears fur insn't really white each piece is a clear hollow tube that keeps heat from escaping the polar bear
No. polar bears have clear fur. not white
the polar bears fur sits down flat in summer in winter their fur is all fluffed up

They don't, the fur is actually almost colorless. The polar bears skin is in fact black.
