Question

Write any four adaptations in polar bear that helps it to survive in the extreme cold climate.

Answer 1

Answer:

The polar bear

thick layers of fat and fur - for insulation against the cold. a small surface area to volume ratio - to minimise heat loss. a greasy coat that sheds water after swimming - to help reduce heat loss. large feet - to distribute their load and increase grip on the ice.

Answer 2

Answer:

Animals like polar bears in the polar regions may have the following adaptive features:

1) Low surface area to volume ratio

2) Small extremities to reduce heat loss - shorter ears and limbs

3) A thick layer of body fat/blubber - present in seals to reduce body heat loss.

4) Thick camouflaged fur

5) Thick fur on paws.
