What polar bears do to keep their temperature at a steady pace in cold temperatures is that they eat enough food to have a steady source and supply/constant amount of fat. Fat acts as an insulating agent and bears have plenty of it. This also explain why a lot of other animals who live in very cold climates have a lot of fat on their bodies.
