Camouflage helps a polar bear become a better predator because the prey doesn't see it coming.
Although you should note that camouflage used mostly for defensive purposes.
The prey cannot see the Polar bear approaching, it gives them the element of surprise, If the bears were black or brown like their counterparts, animals that they hunt would spot them a mile off

Why does a shark use camouflage?
Not all sharks are at the top of the food chain, and even those that are are vulnerable to predation while they are young.
What are the three main types of species interactions that occur in a community predation camouflage and symbiosis predation diversity and competition predation competition and symbiosis predation div?
The three main types of species interactions that occur in a community are predation, competition, and symbiosis. Predation involves one organism feeding on another, competition occurs when species vie for the same resources, and symbiosis refers to close interactions between species, which can be mutualistic, commensal, or parasitic. Together, these interactions shape the structure and dynamics of ecological communities.
How does predation affect an ecosystem?
Predation keeps the numbers of a prey animal in check which will in turn keep the number of predators in check, so an equilibrium is achieved.
How does camouflage help both predator and prey?
Predators benefit from predation because they get to EAT the animal!! Doesn't everyone enjoy eating?The prey benefit from predation because predators normally eat the weaker and unhealthier members of the prey population. Therefore, the stronger members of the prey population gets left to reproduce and pass on their traits to their offspring."Offspring" is another word for "babies."
How do camouflage and protective coloration adaptations affect an organisms survival and reproduction?
Camouflage and protective coloring adaptations improve an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.
What are factors which affect wildlife?
Factors that affect wildlife are the same that affect our ability to live, food, space, shelter, reproductive recruitment, predation, disease, and other mortality issues.
How did natural selection affect peppered moths?
During the industrial revolution, peppered moths with dark coloration had better camouflage on soot-covered trees, allowing them to avoid predation and survive to reproduce. Over time, the frequency of dark-colored moths increased due to their enhanced survival, demonstrating natural selection operating on the population.
How do frogs camouflage?
the frogs can't be camouflaged because no green matches frogs. or different colours for the other frogs.
Why do Tawny Frogmouths camouflage?
Tawny Frogmouths camouflage to avoid predation and enhance their hunting success. Their plumage closely resembles tree bark and foliage, allowing them to blend seamlessly into their surroundings during the day when they roost. This cryptic coloration helps them remain undetected by potential predators and enables them to ambush prey, such as insects and small vertebrates, at night. By effectively using camouflage, they increase their chances of survival and successful foraging.
How does camoflage affect predation?
Predation, is the act of consuming one's prey. Camouflage has a very substantial effect on all predator prey interactions. On one hand you may have a camouflaged prey, if the ruse is effective enough predation is completely negated on the grounds that the predator cannot locate, and thus devour the prey. On the other hand you have a well camouflaged predator stalking a weaker prey. In this case the protection granted from camouflage allows the predator the ability to close the gap between it, and the intended victim without alerting the prey. This helps in situations were the prey is perhaps more adept at distance running or even more aggressive then the attacker. In the animal kingdom, there are many types of camouflage as well, in some situations the creature blends into the environment in which it lives (Like the Phasmatodea or stick bug), or situations in which the creature simply disguises itself as a much more dangerous creature than it really is (Like the viperine, which shapes it's head to look like a cobra), or even on occasion there are creatures who can disguise parts of their own bodies to appear as something completely different.
What do leaf bugs do to survive?
Camouflage, predation, and reproduction number high on the list of what leaf bugs do to survive. The insects in question try to escape predation by natural enemies through foliage-like coloration. They also will feed upon other food chain and food web members in order to complete life cycles and natural histories which culminate in ensuring future generations.
How does camouflage affect an animal ability to be seen?
when you are hunting it is hard to see them because of there fur like deer that how i would put it
