They have big long guard hairs that protect them from the cold and under those they have a wool like hair called qiviut which is very warm and protects them from the cold. They have uniquely shaped hooves so that there are able to dig through the snow to get the forages (grasses) below. They get their food from the grasses below the snow and their water intake from the snow! Quite clever and environmentally adapt animal probably explains why they have been around for 1 million years!
