Fun fact about polar bears! Polar bears have black skin, not white! Their fur looks white, but it's actually transparent and hollow. It reflects light, making them appear white and helping them blend into snowy surroundings. Underneath? Jet black skin to absorb and retain heat from the sun. 2. They can overheat even in the Arctic! Polar bears are so well insulated with thick fur and a fat layer (up to 4.5 inches thick) that they can actually get too hot when running or during warmer days. This is a real life size comparison of a polar bear’s height to that of a human, crazy right?

Wow, polar bears are seriously massive creatures! It's incredible how well adapted they are to survive in such an extreme environment. But I have to disagree about them being able to overheat - that thick fur and blubber must keep them pretty toasty even on the coldest days! And can you imagine encountering one in the wild? I'd be totally awestruck (and maybe a little terrified!) by their sheer size and power.
