The skin of a black bear typically ranges from about 1 to 2 inches thick, depending on the area of the body. The thickness can vary based on factors such as the bear's age, health, and environmental conditions. Additionally, the skin is covered with a layer of fur, which provides insulation and protection.
It isn't really the fur that is perfect for the cold, it's the skin that's underneath. The white coat makes it blend in perfectly with the snow, it is also a very thick, dense coat. It prevents the strong winds from "breaking" the coat and making the Polar Bear cold. The thick skin that is underneath the thick coat of white fur, is black. Whenever there is sunlight, that black skin absorbs the heat made by the sun. The skin is what keeps the bear warm, the fur just reinforces it.
Polar bear is protected by by the thick fur and has black skin to absorb the heat
Oh, dude, bear skin can vary in thickness depending on the species and where on the bear's body you're talking about. Generally, it can range from about 2 to 4 millimeters thick. But like, who's out here measuring bear skin thickness anyway? Just be glad you're not the one doing the measuring!
it is impossible to measure the thickness of the neck skin of a big bear, because it will eat you
Polar bears have black skin under which there is a layer of fat that can measure up to 4.5 inches (11.5 centimeters) thick.
When they are in the cold water, the thick skin heats them up.
Black
Black. It is actually not black. It is a light tan color. (I have a mounted Black Bear in front of me)
The carnivore you are referring to is likely the polar bear. Its black skin helps it absorb and retain heat from the sun, while its thick layer of fur provides insulation in its cold Arctic habitat.
A bear. A bear has fur attached to its thick fat skin!
Polar bear skin is black to help them absorb and retain heat from the sun, keeping them warm in their cold Arctic environment.
Yes, Polar Bears have black skin, but most people do not know this because they have colorless fur (not white...). You can see this is true by looking at the nose of a polar bear, where the fur is thinnest, and you will see that it is black.
