Learn more about polar bears!
When a polar bear’s fur gets dirty, they roll around in the snow to clean it! It’s important to keep their fur clean and dry, because wet or dirty fur won’t insulate heat as well.
Polar bear fur is actually translucent, and only appears white because it reflects all visible light. A polar bear’s skin is actually jet black!
Polar bears can smell their prey up to a kilometer away!
