This week, your task is to choose an animal that lives in the Polar Regions and write a paragraph explaining how they are adapted to live in these extreme environments. Think carefully about the colour of their fur, where they live, what they eat and how they survive the cold.
Arctic Fox
ReplyDeleteFriday, May 20, 2016
Adaptations
Arctic foxes have something called body fat which is created by eating lots in summer and eating less in the winter. To make sure the warmth that the body fat creates is safe, arctic foxes have a thick coating of fur. The fur is a snowy white fur which helps it to camouflage from its prey and whilst catching its prey.
Diet
These foxes have a very special diet. It includes lemmings, voles ,other rodents, hare, birds, eggs, fishes and carrion. This harmless creature is hunted by arctic wolves and polar bears and some humans. Humans that are living in the arctic kill them for their soft fur and fleshy meat.
That’s all you need to know about an arctic fox's diet and all of its adaptations. In the future please try to keep this species safe and do not harm these soft and cuddly creatures.

Penguins
ReplyDeleteThese little animals stay in packs near the coasts of the Antarctic instead of the artic because the Southern Hemisphere (the Antarctic) has a hotter temperature. They stay in packs to be safe from predators. The penguins prefer these places because the ice gives them a slide into the cold water.
What they eat.
Penguins feed on fish,krill and lots of other seafood in the water. They stuff them selves with food in the summer because they won't have any food to eat as all of the animals go to hibernate and start eating again in the Summertime.
Adaptation
Their bodies are streamlined to reduce drag in water. Their wings, shaped like flippers, also help them "fly" underwater at speeds up to 15 mph. Penguins have to keep high body temperatures to remain active. They have thick skin and lots of fat (blubber) under their skin to keep warm in cold weather.

ReplyDeleteThe Walrus lives in the coast of sandy beaches in the Arctic. They normally stay in huge groups of 50. It says that at one a Walrus can eat more than 6,000 clams (sea creatures with shells) in one go. The huge tusks can stay up to 1 meter. They have oily skin. The oily skin camouflages in rocks and is water proof. There relative is the Fur Seal.

Penguins have a lot fat around their body to keep warm. They have webbed feet so that they can swim fast(they can swim up to speeds of 15 MPH).Emperor penguins balance their egg on one foot to keep it of the ice and go without food until the egg hatches. To keep warm the baby goes under the dads feet squeezes him and everyone huddles together.

Arctic wolves
ReplyDeleteAdaptation
Arctic Wolves are mammals. They live in places that can go as cold as -30 degrees. Their thick, warm fur keeps them warm. You would normally find an arctic wolf in countries like Arctic Circle, Alaska, Northern Canada, Iceland and Greenland.
Description
Arctic Wolves have 42 very sharp teeth and they are around 3-6 feet long. They can weigh up to 150 pounds but the average weight is 75 pounds. Arctic Wolves are from the same family as Grey Wolves although Grey wolves are bigger and have less fur. They also have shorter legs, muzzles and ears than grey wolves.
What They Eat
Arctic Wolves eat eggs, voles, hares, small coastal birds and forest berries. When they eat they normally find their food in forests and other cold places.
Where They Live and Information
They live up to 7-10 years. They live in forests and icy caves. Their layer under their fur is all flesh it is very thin but the fur makes them look bigger. They walk in packs and their prey is normally hard to get so that is a brilliant idea. If their prey is bigger than them they spread out around them so basically trapping them.

DeletePolar bears.
ReplyDeletePolar bears are covered in thick white fur witch makes the polar bear feel warm. Especially in winter. In the winter polar bears need to hibernate so in the summer they stuff their tummy's with food so that they don't starve to death in when they hibernate. They have rough so they can walk in the snow easily and jump across each peace of ice.
