White. It is a polar bear because they had to drift one mile east to get back to their camp!!
A momma polar and baby polar bear are sitting on an iceberg eating fish. The baby polar bear asks "Momma, am I part panda bear?" "No, son" she replies, "youÕre a polar bear". The baby polar bear thinks about this for a few minutes then asks "Momma? Am I part koala bear?" Slightly puzzled, his mother replies more emphatically "No, son, you are all polar bear. Now eat your fish." The baby polar muches on his fish a few mor minutes then pipes up again. "Well momma, are you sure IÕm not part brown bear, or grizzly bear, or sumpinÕ?" Perplexed, the momma polar bear answers "Son, you are one hundred percent polar bear. Why do you ask?" "Because I'm freezing!"

As well as the north pole, there is a ring near the south pole where you could arrive at the camp in the same way. It would be very unusual to see a polar bear so close to the pole. If you did, the fur is technically colorless. It does not reflect light. It simply allows light to pass though.

First, you have to understand that there really is no bear.
There is no bear because there wouldn't be any within a mile of the heavy duty equipment your scientists are using to drill through the very center of the arctic cap to get to the rare fish.
Either that, or he is a union bear and he is there to operate the heavy equipment.

The answer to the riddle is white...
But it should be noted that a polar bear's fur is actually transparent... they look white because it reflects the visible light back to the eye.

Technically polar bears aren't white, their fur is clear. So, the bear is a clear as the Arctic ice floes.

With the information of Krynn, that the fur of the bear is NOT white , it seems only white because it reflects all light thus in reality the color of the fur is black.
so it is a BLACK bear. ( that looks white )
