Adaptation in animals living in Cold Regions
Animals in the polar region are adapted to the extremely cold climate by having some special characteristics such as white fur, strong sense of smell, a layer of fat under the skin, wide and large paws for swimming and walking, etc. Migration is another means to escape the harsh, cold conditions.
Polar bears are well adapted for survival in the Arctic. Their adaptations include:
a white appearance - as camouflage from prey on the snow and ice
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
