what color is a polar bears fur?

Polar bear fur is actually clear and completely colorless.  The reason it appears white is because it scatters light.  If you'd like proof, check the web link below.  \nGood question!

Man, I love these answers!!!  I think they should all win.  But to give you my take, here is another one to add to your already fun collection.\n\nIf indeed polar bears don't show up on infra red, it would simply show how greatly effective their insulation is.  Infra red would go for temperature, and the surface temp of the bear is similar to its environment.  It's body temp is much higher.  Its fat layers and primarily its pelt have evolved to sufficiently insulate the animal.  There is little heat loss, which is good because otherwise the bear would freeze to death eventually.  Think of it this way, the polar bear is an inverted refrigerator, only that it is warm on the inside and cold on the outside.  See what I mean?\n\nNow your TV question, I am not exactly sure that you would be able to concentrate much on CSI or Jim lehrer's News Hour (whatever you prefer) when there is a polar bear in between you and the TV.  But in case there were, i think at one point you could not change chanels anymore.  Think about it!  It swallows your arm with the control, and with that insulation you can try changing chanels as you like, it wouldn't get out to your TV...

The answer is NOT pressure. Pressure has nothing to do with why it is cold at the North Pole or why polar bears are white. (if you don't believe this, do a little research and you will find that I am right)\n\nThe right answer is "No" :)\n\nSources:\nhttp://fun.egreetingsetc.com/2F/D/AI/index.shtml\nhttp://teensetc.com/0F/0D/BI/index.shtml\nhttp://phunpages.com/1F/D/AI/index.shtml

The bear is white because the house is at the north pole and polar bears live at the north pole and they are the only bears that live there, therefore the the bear is white.

The fur seal earned its name by the thick pelage it has. It has a thick fur like coat and in the days when people were naming things based on physical characteristics it was named. Now we know that it is more closely related to the sealions than seals, but the name had been used so long and was so accepted, it was pointless to change it and confuse everyone and everything.

The white fur is important camouflage for the bears as they hunt their prey on the ice.\n\nPolar bear fur appears white when it is clean and in even sunlight, because it actually is without pigment.

Polar bears live in the Arctic whilst Bengal tigers are from India. The polar bear would win.  If the tiger was a Siberian however, the tiger would win.

Second only to polar bears, brown bears are the largest land carnivores. A subspecies called the Kodiak bear is particularly impressive, and can reach similar sizes to its polar cousin. \n\nStatistics\nBody length: 180-210cm, Weight: males: 135-390kg, females: 95-205kg.\n\n\nThey typically have brown fur, but this can vary from cream to almost black. Grizzly bears (U.a.horribilis) have long white-tipped hairs along the shoulders and back, which give the bear a grizzled appearance. They have a hump on their shoulders, a concave face and long, curved claws.

Penguins, bears and seals. Whales. That is a consensus. As for the flaura, lichen ... try looking the remainder up.

Sorry i dont know the answer but that is sooooooooo sweet! Every creature matters. I watched Planet Earth on T.V last night and it was heartbreaking to see how the Polar Bears are suffering. We need more caring people in this world! Bless ya.

The bear from Alaska would dissolve faster in the water, because it would most likely be a POLAR bear!!!
