Answer:

Polar bears live in one of the planet's coldest environments and depend on a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat. Fur even grows on the bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good grip on ice.

Polar bears are well adapted for survival in the Arctic. Their adaptations include:

1. a white appearance - as camouflage from prey on the snow and ice

2. thick layers of fat and fur - for insulation against the cold

3. a small surface area to volume ratio - to minimize heat loss

4. a greasy coat that sheds water after swimming - to help reduce heat loss

5. large feet - to distribute their load and increase grip on the ice.
