The polar bear ( Ursus maritimus ) is the only Arctic land mammal that dives into water to hunt. Despite thermal insulation provided by blubber and fur layers low temperatures, their typically observed be free of ice. This study investigates anti-icing properties fur. Here, we show exhibits ice adhesion strengths comparable fluorocarbon-coated fibers, with a consequence sebum (hair grease). Lipid analyses reveal presence cholesterol, diacylglycerols, anteisomethyl-branched fatty acids,...
