In the following box, the characteristics of some animals are given: Strong tails Long and large beak Sticky and large pads on feet Loud voice Bright colours Layer of fat under skin White fur Wide and large paws Diets heavy on fruits Need to migrate Circle the adaptations that are suited for tropical rainforests and underline the ones for animals of the polar regions.

Tropical Rainforest Polar Region Strong tails Layer of fat under skin Long and large beak White fur Sticky and large pads on feet Wide and large paws Need to migrate Bright colours Diets heavy on fruits Loud voice Tropical rainforest: Tropical rainforests are located near the equator. They have a hot and wet climate. They support a number and variety of animals compared to any other region. They have characteristics such as warm weather, constant water supply and the availability of a wide variety of food. Precipitation is distributed evenly throughout the year with plenty of rainfall. Most animals have long tails or sticky pads to climb trees as they live in tall trees. Most of them have loud voices and are colourful to attract mates or scare predators. Polar regions: The regions near the North Pole and the South Pole are polar regions. In these regions, the average winter temperature is about -30 °C. Animals living here have thick fur and a layer of fat called blubber under their skin to keep their body warm.

In the following box, the characteristics of some animals are given: Strong tails Long and large beak Sticky and large pads on feet Loud voice Bright colours Layer of fat under skin White fur Wide and large paws Diets heavy on fruits Need to migrate Are any of the following characteristics suited for both (tropical rainforest and polar) regions? Explain.

Tropical Rainforest Polar Region Strong tails A layer of fat under the skin Long and large beak White fur Sticky and large pads on feet Wide and large paws Need to migrate Bright colours Diets heavy on fruits Loud voice Tropical rainforest: Tropical rainforests are located near the equator. They have a hot and wet climate. Precipitation is distributed evenly throughout the year with plenty of rainfall. Polar regions: The regions near the North Pole and the South Pole are polar regions. In these regions, the average winter temperature is about -30 °C. Animals like polar bears have thick fur and a layer of fat called blubber under their skin. No characteristics above are suited for both regions as they both have different adaptations. Adaptations are evolved according to the climate. So, animals living in hot and cold climates have different survival mechanisms.
