Good one.


Thanks Franks !

Go ahead and tell everyone why the white animal doesn't look so
white.


In the real the fur's bear is a little bit yellow.


The tour guide at my local zoological garden says the reason the polar
bears' fur looks yellow is: each of those big exterior hairs is a
hollow, white tube. Some kind of flora (mold or fungus) gets in there
and thrives. The hair itself is still white; the organism inside is
the coloring agent.

Just for information.
