Question

What will happen if a polar bear is kept in the desert and a camel is kept in the polar region?

Accepted Answer

Polar bears are found only in the Arctic region because they are well adapted to extremely cold conditions with snow and freezing waters. If a polar bear is brought to a desert, it will not be able to survive the extremely hot and dry climatic conditions. Its features such as thick white fur covering its body, feeding habits, body's metabolism, etc., won't allow it to survive in the desert.

Camels are well suited to their desert habitats, with numerous clever adaptations that help them to tolerate extreme hot and cold environments. If a camel is brought to a polar region, it would not be able to survive, it will die due to lack of appetite and food. It does not have a thick fur to protect it from cold. Camel is a herbivore, so camel will not get grass or leaves to eat. Its feet are not adapted to walk on the snow.
