Polar bears are threatened because of the rich fur that they have on their skin which by the way isn't really white. It is transparent. The fur only appears whilte because the scatters and reflects light from the sun. Because their hairs are actually hollow, this helps tje polar bear with buoyancy while swimming and also acts as insulation to hold in warm air. Polar bears are potentailly threatened.
