Question:

How are animals adapted to live in cold conditions?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

Animals such as the arctic fox are adapted to live in cold conditions as they have thick fur, that provides insulation and reduces heat loss through the air. They have fur on the soles of their feet to reduce heat loss to the ice and snow. Arctic foxes also have very small ears to reduce their surface area, and therefore reduce heat loss and their coat provides effective camouflage, helping them hunt for prey.
