Animals that live in cold climates have special adaptations that help them survive harsh weather and freezing temperatures.

Key adaptations include:

1.    Thick Fur or Feathers:
Animals like polar bears and arctic foxes have thick fur to trap body heat. Birds like penguins have dense feathers for insulation.

2.    Fat Layer (Blubber):
Marine animals such as whales and seals have a thick layer of fat called blubber under their skin, which keeps them warm in icy waters.

3.    Hibernation:
Some animals, like bears, go into hibernation during the winter. Their body activities slow down to save energy and survive without food.

4.    Migration:
Birds and some animals migrate (travel) to warmer places during winter and return when the climate improves.

5.    Camouflage:
Animals like the Arctic hare or polar bear have white fur that helps them blend with the snow, protecting them from predators.

6.    Compact Body Shape:
Many cold-climate animals have a small surface area relative to their volume, which helps them retain heat.
