Yaks can survive winters with temperatures reaching -40 degrees Celsius. Their hair is very thick and they secrete a sticky substance in their sweat (which is not a whole lot, since their sweat glands are few and almost non-functional) which helps to keep the under hair matted and acts as extra insulation. Yaks have a double-hair coat, with thick soft down near the skin (called "yak wool" which is actually used as wool in textiles) and longer, the much coarser hair ("guard hairs") to the outside.
A yak has around 10,000 to 15,000 hairs per square inch on its body, which helps insulate it from the cold temperatures in its native habitat of the Himalayas.

Mini roses can survive winter and thrive in cold temperatures with proper care and protection, such as mulching and covering them with a protective layer.
Yes, potatoes can overwinter in the ground and survive cold temperatures as long as the soil does not freeze completely. The ground provides insulation that helps protect the potatoes from extreme cold.
Yes, garlic can survive in snow as it is a hardy plant that can withstand cold temperatures.

Aloe plants cannot survive freezing temperatures. To protect them during cold weather, bring them indoors or cover them with a blanket or frost cloth to insulate them from the cold.
Worms cannot survive in temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
No, eggplants cannot survive frost as they are sensitive to cold temperatures and will be damaged or killed by frost.
