Why does polar bear have white fur?

Polar bears live in snowy, icy places. Their white fur helps them hide from seals and other prey they hunt. It's like natural camouflage!

⭐ Bonus fact: Underneath their white fur, polar bears actually have black skin, which helps them soak up sunshine and stay warm.
