    Polar bears have adapted to survive in Arctic environments. They spend time on land, water, and ice. Their thick white fur and large bodies help them blend in on ice and retain heat in cold temperatures. They hunt seals, whales, and other marine animals for food. When seasons change, polar bears seek different food sources. Adaptations like fur, body shape, color, hibernation, migration, shelter, and protection behaviors help polar bears and other Arctic animals survive harsh Arctic conditions.

    look for different sources of food .
    Polar bears also hunt from water fishes , seals ,beluga
    whales , walruses and narwhals to eat them .
    Adaptations are characteristics that help an organism to
    survive its environment and or / reproduce .
    Adaption's can be physical or behavioural , but all are
    involved with survival in environment .
    Physical Adaption's
    Points
    Fur

    Body shape

    Colour

    Protection
    Fur
    One of the ways that animals
    are protected from weather
    conditions is through fur or
    fat
    Many mammals for this area ,
    tundra and also have thick
    layers of blubber to keep
    them
    warm when temperatures are
    warm . They look same in the
    Ice because of the white fur .
    body shape
    Many tundra birds and mammals
    are larger and smaller appendages
    than similar species in warmer
    climates .

    This body plain allows more heat


    to remain within the animal where
    it belongs , and less heat to escape
    into the environment .
    COLOUR
    Colour is benefit
    for many animals
    because they
    camouflaged in
    the snow.
    Protection
    Many animals have unique
    adaptations from to protect
    themselves from predators .

    Deer , Elk and Caribou have


    antlers that can be used for
    Defence from enemies . Others
    may have hard outer coverings
    that serve as protection .
    Behavioural adaptations
    •Hibernation

    •Protection

    •Migration

    •Shelter
    Hibernation
    To avoid adverse weather
    conditions , some animals
    hibernate , or become
    dormant during the periods
    of worst weather .

    The black bear can withstand


    up to 100 days without eating,
    drinking , defecating ,
    urinating or exercising .
    Protection

    Most animals can protect themselves on


    a physical and behavioural
    level .
    MIGRATION

    Many animals and birds


    migrate to more moderate
    climates during the
    winter .
    Shelter
    Many animals rely on
    living under the snow
    for protection . Amazingly
    temperatures are less -7
    degrees under snow .

    Arctic hare and fox take


    advantages of the snow and
    build dens for protection
    against the harsh arctic
    winters .
    In summary ....
    •Adaption's are characteristics
    that enable an organism to
    survive in it’s environment
    and reproduce .

    •Adaptations can be physical


    or behavioural .
    •All adaptations are related to
    the environment that an
    organism lives in Physical
