Polar bears like to be clean and dry because matted, dirty, and wet fur is a poor insulator.  In summer, if the bears find something to eat, they feed for 20–30 minutes and then head for open water and spend up to 15 minutes washing off, according to scientist Ian Stirling. They also lick their paws, chests, muzzles and balls. Polar bears dry themselves by shaking off excess water and by rubbing their fur in the snow. In winter, polar bears clean themselves with snow instead of water. Bears rub their heads in the snow, push forward on their tummies, and roll on their backs.
