Facts About Survival in the Frozen North

Polar bears are the largest land carnivores on Earth and are native to the freezing regions of the Arctic Circle. Underneath their thick white fur, polar bears actually have black skin that helps absorb heat from the polar sunlight. Their dense coat consists of a thick layer of underfur topped by hollow guard hairs that trap air, insulating the animal against freezing air and water temperatures.

Natural Palette of the Arctic Environment

  • Polar bear fur: Off-white, yellowish cream, or bright white
  • Nose leather and foot pads: Deep black
  • Floating ice floe: Crisp white with pale blue or turquoise edges
  • Ocean water: Dark navy blue, cold gray, or deep indigo
  • Distant icebergs: Soft icy blue, light slate, or brilliant white
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why does polar bear fur sometimes appear yellowish?
The hollow guard hairs reflect sunlight, and natural oils along with dirt or oxidation over time can give the fur a creamy yellow tint.
How do ice floes form in the Arctic ocean?
Ice floes are large sheets of floating sea ice that form when ocean water freezes in sub-zero temperatures and breaks into sea-going rafts.
Can polar bears swim between distant icebergs?
Polar bears are strong swimmers equipped with large webbed front paws that allow them to swim across open water for miles between ice platforms.
