Their white coat helps them blend in with their surroundings. XX

ACTUALLY THEIR FUR IS NOT WHITE. THE HAIRS OF THE TOP LAYER OF FUR ARE LIKE HOLLOW TUBES, AND ARE CLEAR. BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO COLOR OF THEIR OWN, THE HAIRS (FUR) REFLECTS THE SNOW AND APPEARS WHITE. AS THEIR FUR GETS A LITTLE DIRTY, IT CAN PRESENT A YELLOWISH HUE. AND BLENDING IN TO THE SURROUND IS NOT SO MUCH A DEFENSIVE STRATEGY AGAINST HUNTERS, ITS MORE SO THAT THEY CAN HIDE THEMSELVES AND SNEAK UP ON THEIR PREY (PRINCIPALLY SEALS)
They are pretty much the same color as the snow surrounding them, which allows them to blend in and hide from their prey so they can get close enough to catch it.

While Polar Bears aren't territorial when it comes to where they reside, they are extremely aggressive when it come to mating. They are going to challenge each other to determine who will get to mate.
