This has to do with adaptations and what type of environments the animals live in. If, for example a Chihuahua lived in the North Pole it wouldn't last very long because the fur on it's body was made to protect it from little cold, rather than a polar bear that has many thick layers of fur that protect it from the chill of the precipitation and the place where it is living ion general. Fur helps animals become warm but not all fur works to the same level as every other fur. Some fur jackets can be very thick and be meant for cold winter days but some jackets not made out of thick bear fur would not be able to endure that amount of low temperature!
Hope I helped! :)
