Yes, the white color of their fur blends in with the snow and ice of their natural habitat, enabling them to use their fur's camouflaged coloring to blend with the snow to their best advantage. They don't exactly sneak up on their prey, but it helps approach and be less noticed during the process of approaching prey. Polar Bears will stalk their prey, and many of their adaptions for living in their environment are useful when it comes to hunting, including the color of their fur.
Yes.The white fur of the polar bear is camouflage against the ice allowing them to blend into their environment and sneak up on their prey.
This fur provides excellent insulation from the cold, even when they are swimming in the Arctic Ocean. The outer guard hairs form a layer that protects the inner fur from getting wet when the polar bear is in the ocean. These guard hairs are hollow and filled with air. Thus, they always have a layer of trapped air surrounding their bodies.
After a swim they need only give a quick shake and they are nearly dry. There is also a thick layer of blubber that helps insulate the polar bear from the cold.
The skin of the polar bear is black, something that is not easy to see. Its white fur actually allows light to reach this skin and the dark skin absorbs the heat from the sun, another adaptation of the polar bear to living in the extreme cold of the Arctic.
"Rolls eyes" Polar bears have white coats. Their environment is white. Now tell me, if I was out walking in a pitch black night wearing black clothes, would you see me? No. Same for polar bears, and chameleons, and wolves.
Polar bears use camouflage because they're white. They live in an environment full of snow and ice, which makes it easier for them to catch they prey like fishes and seals without being seen. Especially because white reflects the sun it becomes hard to spot polar bears in an atmosphere such as that.
Polar bears are naturally white, and since they are surrounded by snow, they can naturally lay latent from hunters and use it as an advantage to ambush prey.
They use their fur's coloring to blend with the snow, and ice to their best advantage for hunting. While Polar Bears stalk their prey, the fur hides their movements letting them approach closer, more quickly without risk of being noticed. The white fur also makes hiding in ambush very easy, and still hunting must be easier when you match the surroundings too. Also when they are hunting from the edge of ice, they would match the ice, making it hard to distinguish between them and the normal edge of the ice floe. This must also work when the Polar Bear is still hunting at blow holes too, again he would match the ice and snow. The Polar Bear has many adaptions for living in their harsh environment that are useful when it comes to hunting, but their fur color is a major factor.

Since polar bears are very white, they can blend in with the snow very well and hide from enemies.
Yes, and very well I might add! Its silvery brown fur blends in very well with the forest or mixed-grassland environment that it lives in.
yes
Camouflage.

Yes, Polar bears are camouflage but the only predators they have are humans and their white fur doesn't protect them from us.

Polar Bears and Some bugs
Polar Bears have a special place in the human imagination. They're white so that they can hide. (Camouflage is another word you could say... )
Polar bears use their teeth, claws and strength in their paws and jaws.
since polar bears live in snowy regions their white fur blends in with the snow
The white fur is camouflage so there could have been different colored polar bears that were hunted out by an extinct predator?
.good sense of smell .sharp teeth sharp claws camouflage
