What adaptations help Arctic animals survive?

Transcript

Arctic animals have various adaptations to survive extreme cold. Polar bears possess thick blubber and two layers of fur for insulation and an elongated snout to warm air. Arctic foxes and hares have thick fur, smaller limbs, and small ears to reduce heat loss. Reindeer have antlers for digging through snow and special vision for spotting food. Walruses use tusks to haul onto ice and echolocation for navigation. These adaptations are essential for thriving in harsh Arctic conditions.
