Explanation

Yes, all are correctly matched. In addition to fur, polar bears have a thick layer of fat under the skin called blubber. This layer acts as an insulator and prevents the bear from extreme cold. Polar bears have wide paws with long curved nails called claws. These help them move on the snow. Wide paws work as a rudder while swimming. Because of the white fur, a polar bear can easily mix with its snowy background and can hide from its prey and predator.
