Hi
How does polar bear protect itself from the cold?
The advantage of the white fur of a polar bear is that this fur protects the polar bear from extreme cold by preventing the loss of heat from its body. Thus, the two thick layers of fur keep the polar bear warm in an extremely cold climate. It protects them from their predators. It helps them in catching their prey. Their coat is so well camouflaged in Arctic environments that it can sometimes pass as a snow drift.
