Always thought polar bears were white? Their fur is actually translucent and appears white because it reflects visible light. Beneath their fur, their skin is jet black. Though they\u2019re often depicted roaming their icy landscape, they can also swim for hours to find their prey. Melting ice in the Arctic has made them a vital species for conservation. <\/p>

Celebrate these awesome arctic animals with our organic cotton Polar Bear Top.<\/p>
