Polar Bear
Its Amazing Adaptation:Over time polar bears have adapted to survive in cold, wet slippery environments. They have fur under their feet to help them from slipping on the ice. Their hollow fur seems like it’s white, but it’s actually clear hollow tubes that reflect the light. Their fur seems dry but it’s fur is actually oily and water repellent. After the polar bear goes swimming, some ice might start forming on its fur, but luckily it is easy for them to shake it off. Their fur is also great for camouflaging if any hunters go hunting for them. Polar bears eat different kinds of seals including: bearded seals, ringed seals etc. Polar bears also have slightly webbed feet to help them to be amazing swimmers.
