The spirit bear is white because a neutral mutation happens when the order of A (adenine) T (thymine) G (guanine) or C (cytosine) is changed. if both parents have this altered gene, they can have an offspring, the bear has to get both altered genes so it can have two copies just like any other DNA.

Spirit bear is one of the common names for a unique subspecies of the North American black bear. In spirit bear populations, approximately one in every 10 bears is snow-white or cream-coloured; the rest are black. The scientific name of the spirit bear is Ursus americanus kermodei. White spirit bears are not albinos. The white colour phase may be due to the inheritance of a single gene for hair colour, but other more complex genetic mechanisms may be involved. Scientists are still studying this. Two black spirit bears with the right genes can mate and produce white individuals. It is also possible that two white spirit bears could mate and have black cubs. http://www.savespiritbear.org/project/spiritbear/about_bear/faq.html#1
