Polar Bears aren’t WHITE!

Polar Bear Characteristics
The polar bear’s white, or yellowish white appearance is caused by a reflection of light. In fact, the fur has no white pigment at all but is translucent and hollow which helps to conduct the sun’s heat down to the base of the hairs and onto the skin. Under its fur, the polar bear’s skin is entirely black.
