Answer:

Polar bears have white fur so that they can camouflage into their environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Their coat is so well camouflaged in Arctic environments that it can sometimes pass as a snow drift. Interestingly, the polar bear's coat has no white pigment; in fact, a polar bear's skin is black and its hairs are hollow.
