What color is a polar bear?

Polar bears have white fur so that they can camouflage into their environment. Their coat is so well camouflaged in Arctic environments that it can sometimes pass as a snow drift. Interestingly, the polar bear’s coat has no white pigment; in fact, a polar bear’s skin is black and its hairs are hollow.

Why do polar bears turn green?

Well, each of the longer guard hairs on the Polar bear’s body is hollow and reflects visible light, much like snow. Polar bears that live in warmer climates (like in zoos) can have algae growing in their hair, which can make them look green!

Are polar bears left handed?

Polar bears are not left-handed. This is a common misconception—research has shown that both paws are used equally. You might say they are ambidextrous.

What color is a grizzly bear’s skin?

Grizzly bears are large and range in color from very light tan (almost white) to dark brown. They have a dished face, short, rounded ears, and a large shoulder hump. The hump is where a mass of muscles attach to the bear’s backbone and give the bear additional strength for digging.
