Question

How are polar bears and penguins adapted to live in very cold regions?

Accepted Answer

The regions near the North Pole and the South Pole are polar regions. The animals live in harsh climatic conditions as the climate is always cold.

The adaptation of polar bears and penguins in polar regions are as follows:

Both of them have thick fur and a layer of fat called blubber under the skin to help in keeping themselves warm.

Penguins huddled together to keep themselves warm.

The dark-coloured feathers on the penguin’s back absorb heat from sunlight to keep it warm.

Penguins and polar bears are good swimmers.

Polar bears have large, wide paws with which to walk on the snow. They have long, sharp, curved claws that help them walk on ice.

Polar bears have white fur to camouflage against the white snow while hiding from enemies or hunting prey.
