How is a polar bear adapted for it's environment? (4 marks)

Polar bears are well adapted for survival in the Arctic: 

White fur to camouflage themselves from prey on the snow and ice. 

Thick layers of fat and fur for insulation against the cold.

Small surface area to volume ratio, to minimise heat loss. 

Large feet to distribute their load and increase grip on the ice.
