They have quite light colored fur to camoflage them, helping them get closer to prey undetected. They also have proportionately wider paws than most cats helping them move across the snow without sinking, this allows them to give chase to prey more effectively. To keep them warm, their fur is thicker than other leopards allowing them to survive in much colder climes. The snow leopard also has large nasal cavities (nose) for breathing at high altitudes. The snow leopard has a long tail for balance

They travel a lot

What is seasonal adaptation?

Seasonal adaptation is when an animal or other organism makes changes to their lifestyle to better suit their environment. For example, bears will hibernate in the winter months to stay warm in the cold.


What is the behavioral adaptation of the narwhal?

One behavioral adaptation of the narwhal is migration. The narwhal undergoes summer and winter migrations. In the summer, the narwhal is found in shallower waters. That's the season when the food supply is abundant, and easy to catch, in shallower waters. In the winter, the narwhal is found in deeper waters. That's the season when food is scarce in shallower waters, and more abundant in deeper waters. Another behavioral adaptation is deep diving. There's no need for narwhals to perform the deep dives in shallower waters. But in deeper waters, the narwhal performs some of the deepest, known mammalian dives on record. So, depending on the season, the narwhal has a diving range of 30-300 meters/90-900 feet down in summer, and 800-1,500 meters/2,400-4,500 feet down in winter.

Do wild rabbits in Canada change their fur colour to white in the winter?

Some do. In fall they start turning whiter and in spring they change back to brown. This is a camouflage technique for many species, most notably the Arctic Hare, as the two colors are least noticable in each time period - white blends with snow, brown blends with wood and dirt. A few species do not, as not all areas of Canada have consistent snow in the winters.

A structural adaptation refers to a physical feature of an organism that enhances its survival and reproduction in its environment. For instance, the long neck of a giraffe is a structural adaptation for reaching high leaves. Conversely, a sentence that describes behavior, such as "The bird migrates south for the winter," does not describe a structural adaptation, as it pertains to a behavioral adaptation instead.
