Explanation:
1.Polar Bear Arctic Adaptations
Polar bears live in one of the planet's coldest environments and depend on a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat. Fur even grows on the bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good grip on ice.
2. Penguin - Penguins have webbed feet for powerful swimming. Their bodies are streamlined to reduce drag in water. Their wings, shaped like flippers, also help them "fly" underwater at speeds up to 15 mph.
3.Big cats - They have a tail that is used to steer them in the right direction. Cheetahs use their teeth to kill their prey. The baby cheetahs coat acts as camouflage for the first few months of their life. Their claws are the only non retractable claws in the big cats family which they use to grip the ground while their running.
