So this bear starts walking at a unique spot.. He walks 10 km in a straight line, turns left, walks 20 km, turns left again, and walks a final 10 km.. He ended up on the same spot as where he left.
What color is the bear?

Does the bear turn 90 Degrees?
If not, then it can be any bear walking in the shape of an isosceles triangle

White!
It's a polar bear!

I know you can make those 90 degrees turns to get on the same spot, but I have no idea how I would explain it to people who dont.

This is correct, it has to do with the curves of the earth.
If you start at the (exact) north pole, walk distance x, turn left or right (90 degrees), walk any random distance, turn again, walk distance x again, you end up at the same spot again.
you can imagine this if you think about walking the equator. eventually you would end up on the same spot again, if you go 1000 km north or south, and you walk another straight line across the earth you would again end up on the same spot.
Now you could also start on the north pole, walk all the way to the equator, turn left, walk any distance across the equator, turn left again, and walk back up to the north pole. This is what the bear did on small scale.

Soo long story short the bear is indeed polar, which is also why he dissolved in water

You've got to at least try to explain yourself a bit if you want to claim the anser :P

Here's one to add to the mix

A man sets off from home,
he runs a little ways and turns left,
he runs a little more and turns left,
he runs a little more again and turns left,
when he runs back home he sees two masked men waiting,
who are these masked men? and why are they waiting at home?

Rope or anchor.

What is something that can't be felt, seen, smelled, touched, or taste.

Radio waves
A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

Actually, it can be seen via cell phones displayed as bars.

On topic:
The husband had a bulletproof vest, then he had some scuba gear, then he had something to protect his neck.

She shoots a picture of him, puts it in a solution, and hangs it up. Good riddle though, took me a while to figure it out!

What's loud, starts with 'F', and ends with 'UCK'?

No it's not the curse word, so don't put that.
