How does a polar bears adaptation help it survive?

Answer 1

The physical adaptations that help polar bears survive include :

• FUR : their thick fur keeps them warm in frigid air and water (it's actually hollow)
• WHITE FUR: actually transparent, for camouflage in ice and snow. Also reflects the heat lost through the skin, back into it's body.
• SKIN: their skin is black to absorb heat from the sun's rays to help keep them warm
• PAWS : the pads provide traction on ice
• BIG PAWS : spread body weight on ice, and are broad for use in swimming
• CLAWS : are curved to dig through ice
• SMALL EARS and TAILS : are short to minimize heat loss
• TEETH : more jagged than most bears, suiting a carnivore
• FAT LAYERS: keeps them warm (insulates)
• NOSTRILS : their nostrils close underwater

it uses it's black skin too draw and keep heat, it has alot of black skin and fat, and is used as insulation. the polar bear does not hibernate and blends easily into the snow. it has large pads on their feet for grip and bended claws for prey and to dig into the ice. they eat fish and seals, and dig mounds too sleep behind. they swim easily and their hair is actually seethrough.

  • STOMACH: their ability to eat so much makes it that they can hybernate

Answer 3

They hunt seals and belugas. They have thick blubber and fur to keep warm, and to survive winter they go into "winter sleep".

Answer 4

Polar bears use their fur to help keep themselves warm when they go underwater or in harsh climates such as snow.

Answer 5

its thick coat and its animal instinct. also its ability to swim catch fish and stay warm

Answer 6

i am not for sure but i think that hibernation

Answer 7

Without polar bear adaptions polar bears wouldn't be able to survive because adaptions are changes a animal has/makes to fit in into it's

Answer 8

so they can hide
