PresentationAnimals Adapting to the Cold
Learn about the different animals of the Arctic and how they adapt to the cold climate.
Animals Adapting to the Cold
Hibernation
Some animals hibernate. They make cosy dens, their body temperature and heart rate slows down.
They stay still until temperatures get warmer outside.
Fur and feathers
Animals have thick layers of fur or feathers to keep them warm.
Some have a layer of water-repellent fur.
Migration
If a habitat gets too cold some animals just stay there for the summer and leave in the winter.
This is called migration.
Working together
Animals can also adapt by working together with other animals.
They help each other survive.
Camouflage
Some animals have white fur which matches the colour of the snow so they blend in.
Blubber
Some animals have a thick layer of fat called blubber, this keeps them warm.
The End!
