maybe the stiff hairs prevent it from slipping in the Arctic snow? I'm not very sure either:)
The hairs are trapped between the threads and pulled out.
Funnel web spiders can't jump, in fact they prefer to keep the eight legs firmly on the ground. And while the spiders can swim, they can only survive in swimming pools for a few hours. They're able to survive underwater because air is trapped by tiny hairs on their abdomen and they breathe though lungs located on the undersurface of the abdomen.
They are covered in small, fine hairs for insulation and grow near the ground for warmth
An Arctic Willow is the only tree that lives in the Arctic Tundra and it only grow about 4 inches fronthe ground. lol hope i helped!!!
Eider ducks survive year-round in the Arctic by adapting to the extreme cold with their thick layers of insulating feathers, which provide excellent thermal protection. They also rely on a diet of marine invertebrates and can dive underwater to forage for food. Musk oxen, on the other hand, have a thick, shaggy coat made of long guard hairs and a dense undercoat called qiviut that insulates them against frigid temperatures. They graze on grasses, mosses, and lichens, and their social behavior helps them survive harsh conditions by forming protective groups.
to keep the body warmer....
it keeps the plants safe because some animals don't like the hairy texture
well basically the ciliated cells line all the air passages in your lungs.they have tiny hairs which filter the air as it blows through the hairs also sweep mucus (snot) with trapped dust and bacteria up to the back of the throat where it is swallowed.
Yes, butterflies have fuzzy bodies that are covered in tiny sensory hairs called setae. These hairs help butterflies sense their surroundings and regulate their body temperature.
The skin dose not, but hairs raises, arteries shrink and you shiver in cold. But in hot the opposite happens hairs not raise, arteries expand and you sweat.< p>
On sometarantulas, their hair is a form ofdefense They shoot a mist of microscopic barbed hairs at their attacker, usually at their eyes.
