Organisms in the Arctic have developed various adaptations to survive extreme cold and limited food availability. Many mammals, such as polar bears and Arctic foxes, have thick fur and a layer of fat for insulation, while some birds, like the snowy owl, have specialized feathers that provide warmth. Additionally, many plants grow close to the ground to withstand strong winds and have short growing seasons, often relying on strategies like permafrost insulation and nutrient storage to thrive in harsh conditions. These adaptations help them cope with the unique challenges of the Arctic environment.

The Arctic is too cold for most mammals, and certainly too cold for marsupials. Only certain mammals are adapted for life in the Arctic. In addition, kangaroos are only found in the southern hemisphere, specifically Australia (and tree kangaroos in New Guinea). The Arctic is in the northern hemisphere.
