Animals native to arctic regions are highly adapted to their environment, with dense fur or feathers to insulate their bodies and retain the warmth that they generate.
Polar bears and arctic wolves and foxes have white fur and dark skin to help attain and absorb sunlight to help in keeping them warm. Seals also have very dense fur, but they are kept warm by thick layers of blubber (fat) just like whales (which do not have protective fur).
