How does a Polar Bear keep warm in cold Northern weather?
ANSWER: (b) It has translucent hair and black skin that absorbs and preserves body heat Polar bears are beautifully adapted to their arctic surroundings. Their thick coats (made up of glossy guard hairs and dense under fur) and a thick layer of fat beneath the skin help protect them against the cold. Their hair is translucent and reflects the sun’s heat down to the base of the hairs, where it is absorbed by their black skin.
