        Why are polar bears white?
        Their white fur helps them blend in with the snow and ice.
        
        How does a polar bear keep warm?
        A polar bear has a layer of fat under its skin which helps it stay warm. It also has a thick layer of fur.
        
        Why does a polar bear have very wide, large paws?
        The wide, large paws help a polar bear to walk in the snow.
        
        Why does a polar bear have nostrils which it can close?
        When a polar bear swims under water it closes it nostrils so no water can get in.
        
        Why don't polar bears get wet?
        The outer layer of fur is made of long, oily guard hairs, ranging from two to six inches in length. The oil helps to shed water during a dip in the glacial pool.
