Polar Bears Aren’t What They Seem

Polar bears can swim for hours without stopping. They’re such strong swimmers that they’ve been spotted miles away from land or ice.
But I learnt a fun fact that surprised me – Polar bears actually have black skin. And their fur isn’t really white, it’s transparent. It just looks white because it reflects light.
Have you ever learned an animal fact that completely blew your mind?

@Tendz09 It reminds me of life, if we never look closely, it can gaslight us and deceive us forever.
Anyway, thank you for this fun fact about Polar bears. God bless.

I learn so much about cats. They are whimsical, moody and inconsistent

I learned that zebras are actually entirely black, but people are employed in the wild to observe newborns and paint the white stripes on immediately after birth.
Sorry, that's not true at all, but it was a perfect opportunity to insert an old joke.

Good one! But yeah, zebras are black with white stripes, since their skin underneath is black.
