What adaptations has the Siberian husky had to fit the tundra environment?

Answer 1

A lot of features help keep them warm.

Huskies have a thick double coat that keeps them well insulated. Their undercoat is short and warm, while the overcoat is long and water-resistant. Their almond-shaped eyes allow them to squint to keep out snow. Huskies will wrap their tails around their faces while they sleep; their breath warms the tail and keeps the nose and face protected from the cold.

Answer 2

Huskies have two coats of fur, a downy under layer that is used for insulation and to trap heat close to the body and wiry guard hairs that are used to waterproof and wax glands coat them to keep them dry. they also have splayed out feet that cover a larger surface area on the snow giving them a better chance of staying above snow rather than sinking.

Answer 3

The Siberian Husky is a breed of dog developed in Siberia (the northern portion of Russia) as a sled dog. This breed has a thick, warm, double coat of fur - an outer coat made of long guard hairs and an inner coat made of thick shorter insulating hairs. The Husky also has small, well-furred ears, small orbits (eye openings), thicky furred and padded paws and a well-developed counter-current exchange to maintain body heat.

While these adaptations make them excellent winter dogs, they can more easily overheat in tropical environments and over the summer - you will need to make sure to keep them cool when they are exposed to hotter temperatures.
