Blubber and hair make animals seem larger. Compact animals with shorter limbs would have a higher survival rate as well. Animals with no natural predators and an abundant food supply also grow larger.
According to Bergmann's rule, larger body sizes are advantageous in cold climates. This is because larger animals have a lower surface area-to-volume ratio, which helps them conserve heat more effectively. Additionally, increased body mass allows for greater insulation and energy reserves to endure colder temperatures. Consequently, species in colder regions tend to be larger than their counterparts in warmer areas.
because they move really fast and their blood needs to pump faster so they can survive. this is why they have shorter life spans than larger animals. (also larger animals have ALOT less predators)
cold temperature
Temperature doesn't really affect the crystal size; the rate of cooling is the major factor. The faster the mineral, rock, etc. (whatever has the crystals) cools, the smaller the crystals- the slower the larger. If you were "growing" crystals with a set, the warmer the temperature generally means the larger the crystals.
The beaker will eventually cool down, while the room will warm up. The room, having a much larger mass, will only warm up slightly.
The climates of Northern Japan and the Koreas are generally colder with colder winters and shorter summers. They also experience more snowfall compared to Southern Japan, which has milder winters and hotter summers. Additionally, the northern regions tend to have a larger temperature difference between seasons.
Bergmann's rule stipulates that in cold climate conditions animals should have denser bodies than in hot climates where a long, lean body would allow heat to escape more easily. This is similar to Alan's Rule (cold climates should favour shorter limbs, while the reverse is true in hot climates).
Probably. Deer in the colder climates tend to have larger body sizes. Even those in northern U. S. states are larger than those in the southern states.
Yes, -20°C is colder than -15°C. The larger the negative value, the colder the temperature.

The higher the temperature the larger the reading therefore 36F is colder than 38F
Yes, -20 degrees Celsius is colder than -4 degrees Celsius. The larger the negative value, the colder the temperature.
Desert rats have larger ears than others because it allows them to vent excess heat more quickly. Likewise, animals in colder climates tend to have smaller ears.
Ferrets coloring doesn't have anything to do with size. A ferret's gender makes a difference as females are always smaller than males. Unaltered ferrets are generally larger than altered ferrets. Ferrets that are in colder climates are larger than ferrets in mild climates.
Well, Larger mammals are found near the poles because its much warmer for them too cool down and since some have a thick coat they need to live near cooler places. As you know giraffs and elephants live near there its because they are adapted to their environment and dont have a very thick coat.
yes. If you drew these 2 numbers onto a number line, starting from -20 and going to 0, -19 would be further to the left, making it a colder temperature.
Warm-blooded animals tend to loose more heat from extremities (a basic physical thing, more surface area for the volume leads to higher heat loss), so it's only logical that in colder climates, smaller extremities where heat loss will be less, will be favoured over extremities with a larger surface area. The opposite is also true. Larger extremities are better for more heat loss. Elephants fan their ears, for instance.
