    Question



    Which features adapt polar bears to live in extremely cold climate?

    A.

    A white fur, fat below skin, keen sense of smell

    B.

    Thin skin, large eyes, a white fur

    C.

    Small eyes, strong claws, white large paws

    D.

    White body, paws for swimming, extra gills for respiration

    Correct option is A


    The correct answer is option (a): A white fur, fat below skin, keen sense of smell.
    · White fur helps polar bears blend into their snowy environment, providing camouflage from predators and prey.
    · Fat below the skin acts as insulation, keeping the polar bear warm in extremely cold temperatures.
    · Keen sense of smell allows polar bears to detect prey from long distances, even under thick layers of ice.
    · White fur also reflects sunlight, reducing heat absorption and helping to regulate body temperature.
    · These adaptations are crucial for survival in the harsh Arctic climate, where temperatures can drop well below freezing.
    Additional Information
    · Polar bears also have large, wide paws that distribute their weight when walking on thin ice, preventing them from falling through.
    · Thick fur on their paws provides additional insulation and traction on ice.
    · Polar bears are excellent swimmers, with their front paws acting like paddles, allowing them to cover large distances in search of food.
