Part of the answer is that their fur helps trap heat close to their body. Secondly, their skin is black which helps absorb rays from the Sun that do reach the north pole. And lastly, a healthy dose of body fat provides insulation to keep their internal organs warm.

Well that is because the polar bears are made to live in the cold environment. They have thick furs that don't let their body heat taken away easily. When it is not as cold, the thick fur will produce unnessecery heat which will cause the bear to die or be sick because of overheat in their body.

Animals such as the polar bear, penguin, walrus, etc., are adapted to cold weather by means of thick layers of body fat, in addition to very warm fur or feathers, which insulate them from the cold.

global warming. polar bears need a specific climate to survive and the melting of the arctic is making survival difficult for them. Also, global warming affects the polar bears' food sources such as other animals. When polar bears have less food, it is harder for them to survive.
