What color is a polar bear's skin?

That a polar bear's skin color is actually black is correct. Any discoloring that you have seen may have been to drying or preservation effects on the carcass.

Well, they have to be camouflaged for swimming in the sea.  Look at most deep - water fish (not the show - off types, that live around coral reefs), for example.  They tend to have dark colours on the side that faces up, while they swim, and pale on the other side.\n\nThis hides them from predators from above and below, better than other colour schemes.  From above, they seem dark, like the deep sea.  They must not shine, reflecting back sunlight more than deep water will.  From below, they are pale against the brighter background of the sunshine coming down through the water; they do not give as much of a shadow as if they were dark on their underside.\n\nOn land, especially in a snowy landscape, they do not seem camouflaged, but think of them as fish, and it makes more sense.\n\nBTW, Anthony, you have polar bears and seals, at the north pole / Arctic circle.  We have penguins and seals in the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica.  We have penguins in Australia too; they are a tourist attraction, where they are able to be viewed; they have become familiar with humans.

depends on the person. i think of the phrases, icy blue eyes, warm brown, soft hazel, emerald green, deep blue, cold dark brown/blue, etc.\n\nthe rest of the person's face decides the attractiveness of the eyes!

Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat. \n\nPressure makes you cry if it's too much. \n\nPressure in your bladder makes you have to pee. \n\nPeer pressure makes girls comb their hair...Otherwise we wouldn't bother! \n\nCelebrities usually crack under pressure. \n\nMany normal people will shine under pressure. \n\nPancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat. \n\nChampagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared. \n\nIf you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes. \n\nIf you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.

Nice try..! But there are no polar bears at the South Pole or in all of Antarctica. Try again, dude.

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.

light (or sunlight)\n\nlight makes polar bears clear hair shafts appear white\nlight makes your eyes water\nlight first thing in the morning...guy gets out of bed to pee and girl combs her hair\nlight makes celebrities look stupid since it shed light on their antics\nlight makes normal people look like celebrities by putting them in the spotlight\npancakes brown, they are no longer light\nexpose champagne to light and it bubbles\nif you squeeze a lightbulb, it pops\ncan't figure last line but know that staring at sunlight is very bad for your eyes

It would be red-orange.\n\nThe Kelvin rating is a color index that is determined by heating a black body (a blob of carbon).  As the temperature increases, the black body begins to glow and emits light.  At 3000 Kelvin, a black body would glow red-orange.  At 5000K it would be white, 6000K is the color of full daylight sun (at noon) and at 9000 K it would be distinctly blue.

Yes. It's a biologic tendency and does indeed run in families! ALL animals favor one over the other. Infact, Polar Bears are usually left-pawed.

polar bears are actually in the 'cat' family. they have their own language which is similar to italian. i read somewhere in a magazine that their hair is actually blue or clear or something but the light makes it look white. they use downy to stay so soft and they have food allergies to hotdogs and bird seed. \nthey use charmin to wipe their 'bare bottoms' after they use the loo.

Water and ice are transparent and light passes through without any portions of the visible spectrum being absorbed or reflected. On the other hand, most of the visible (white) light striking a snowy surface is reflected back by the countless tiny surfaces of the snow crystals giving snow its white appearance.\n\nOne can think of the ice or snow layer as a filter. If it is only about a centimeter thick, all the light makes it through and it is seen as white, but if it is a meter or more thick, mostly blue light makes it through. More red light is absorbed compared to blue. Not much more, but enough that over a considerable distance, say a meter or more, the light emerging from the snow layer tends to be made up of more blue than red light. Poking a hole in the snow and looking down into the hole you can see blue light or the blue color associated with the depths of crevasses in glaciers. In each case the blue light is the product of a relatively long travel path through the snow or ice.

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

i know that polar bears have hollow hairs, the rest im not very sure.\nbut the hollow in their hair has air which is a bad conductor of heat. thus having this layer of air in their hair helps reduce conduction of heat from their body and the atmosphere thus reducing body heat loss... kinda like those double layered windows you find in apartments in cold countries~ i hope this helps!

The color of the skin is depends on the amount of the melnins. if one have more then his color will be black and if it's less then color will be white.

The North Pole is constitued of ice, unlike the South Pole, there is no land mass underneath the ice.  Global warming causes the ice sheets to melt and break apart.  If a polar bear is on one of these ice sheets that breaks up it has to swim back to a larger, more substantial area to live.  But what is happening is that the bears are drowning before they can reach another ice sheet.

all sides facing south= its at the north pole, so the bear is white.\nalso the correct spelling is colour, because we invented the language, not you, you just stole it and made a f***ing mess out of it.
