The colour of the bear can be any one except white!

Proof:

- Polar bears live only near the north pole.

- There is one possible point near the north pole.

- There are an infinite number of points near the south pole.

- The chance of picking the point near the north pole is zero,
  because one (number of points near north pole) 
  divided by infinity plus one (total number of points) is zero.
