Animals in the Arctic have several adaptations that help them survive in the harsh conditions. Some common adaptations include:

  1. Thick fur or blubber for insulation and warmth
  2. Camouflaged fur or feathers for protection from predators
  3. Large body size to conserve body heat
  4. Small extremities to reduce heat loss
  5. Hibernation or migration to escape extreme cold
  6. Specialized diets to provide energy in low food availability These adaptations allow Arctic animals to thrive in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
