What does climate have to do with the kinds of animals that live an area?

Answer 1

Climate along with other factors of a region have effects on the animals and plants inhabiting it. Plants and animals are known to adapt to their surroundings. If a terrain has a hot climate and rarely rains then animals adapt by coming out at night, storing water, or perhaps a more elongated body so to stay cool. An example of an animal adapted is a black-tailed jackrabbit to desert life because of its long ears it stays cool and hears predators. A polar bear is another good example of a species adapting to its surroundings. Polar bears inhabitate cold regions and due to this have thick, white fur and a large body mass so to stay warm. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The climate of an area determines factors such as temperature, precipitation, and seasonal changes, which influence the types of plants that can grow there. These plants then provide habitats and food sources for various animal species, leading to the presence of certain animals in that area. This relationship between climate, vegetation, and animals is known as the concept of biomes.
