Question

Write any three adaptations of animals living in polar regions

Answer 1

During hibernation, their hearts slow down and their body temperature drops almost to freezing. They stay in this vegetative-like state until warmer temperatures return. Some of the larger animals you'll find on the Arctic tundra are musk oxen. Their long, thick, dark hair surrounds them like a tent, keeping them warm.heir white fur helps them blend in with the snow and ice. A polar bear has a layer of fat under its skin which helps it stay warm. It also has a thick layer of fur.Arctic and Antarctic birds and mammals such as penguins, whales, bears, foxes and seals - are warm blooded animals and they maintain similar internal body temperatures to warm blooded animals in any other climate zone - that is 35-42°C (95-107°F) depending on the species.

2. They usually hibernate during winter, it minimises their metabolic activity.

3. They have thick wool and fleece on their bodies, it protects them from cold.

4. The fat under the skin also gives them protection against cold.

For Example, Polar bear, Penguin, etc.
