ACTUALLY THEIR FUR IS NOT WHITE. THE HAIRS OF THE TOP LAYER OF FUR ARE LIKE HOLLOW TUBES, AND ARE CLEAR. BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO COLOR OF THEIR OWN, THE HAIRS (FUR) REFLECTS THE SNOW AND APPEARS WHITE. AS THEIR FUR GETS A LITTLE DIRTY, IT CAN PRESENT A YELLOWISH HUE. AND BLENDING IN TO THE SURROUND IS NOT SO MUCH A DEFENSIVE STRATEGY AGAINST HUNTERS, ITS MORE SO THAT THEY CAN HIDE THEMSELVES AND SNEAK UP ON THEIR PREY (PRINCIPALLY SEALS)
They are pretty much the same color as the snow surrounding them, which allows them to blend in and hide from their prey so they can get close enough to catch it.

Polar Bears and Some bugs
Polar bears use their teeth, claws and strength in their paws and jaws.
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... )

The white fur is camouflage so there could have been different colored polar bears that were hunted out by an extinct predator?
