Animals grow thicker fur in winter as an adaptation to colder temperatures. This process, known as "seasonal pelage," involves the growth of larger, denser hair follicles that provide better insulation against the cold. The thicker fur traps air, creating a layer of warmth, while also reducing heat loss. This adaptation helps animals maintain their body temperature and survive in harsh winter conditions.
