The polar bear's skin is black. They have clear hairs, which somehow makes them seem to appear white. I think its the sun reflecting off of it, but I'm not sure.

From Wikipedia:
A polar bear's nose and skin are black and the fur is translucent despite its apparent white hue.

The fur of polar bears is actually colorless, or translucent. It looks white because of the light. When light hits the polar bear, all the colors are reflected back. If you looked at a polar bear in green light, it would look green. If you looked at it in red light, it would look red. The fur just reflects back whatever color light is shined on it.

The skin is black. I think this is so it can absorb as much heat from the rays of the sun as possible

the skin is black.. apparently, but to the dude who said if you put a polor bear in green light it would look green etc, you put anything in green light it looks green because thats the only light that can be reflect well i guess it could look black but lets not split hairs.
