Its large ears conduct heat!
How does a polar bear's small ears and tail help it adapt to its habitat?
Both small ears and tail help because then there is not a lot of heat that gets lost. This helps the polar bear keep warm.
How earmuffs work?
Earmuffs work by keeping the heat from your ears near your ears, instead of letting it escape into the air. Most of your body heat escapes from your head and feet. Covering your ears helps to warm your entire body.
Why do rabbits in the dessert have large ears?
Rabbits in the desert have long ears because they are used for cooling. The blood is pumped through the small capillaries in the ear which helps by releasing some of the heat from the blood into the atmosphere thus cooling the body temperature of the rabbit. To aide in cooling off a rabbit place cool compresses on their ears. The evaporation process will speed up the cooling.
What are the animal have ears small than you?
Animals may have smaller ears because they live in cold environments and heat is lost through your ears

Why do animals living in very cold regions have smaller and shorter ears tails and legs?
It's to minimise heat loss. With large thin ears, the blood will cool quickly as the blood runs through them. This can be an advantage in hot climates, but is not so good when trying to conserve body heat.
Why do Arctic foxes have small ears?
Arctic Foxes have smaller ears because they need to retain heat. They live in cold weather so their bodies naturally need to be smaller to retain heat and their ears are smaller because they lose body heat through their ears, therefore if their ears are smaller less heat is lost and they will not be as cold.
Desert rabbits are adapted to the warm climate because their large ears aid in the removal of heat by?
high heat of vaporization of water.
What are small in arctic animals to prevent heat loss?
