Detailed explanation-1: -1. Why do polar bears have white fur? Polar bears have white fur so that they can camouflage into their environment. Their coat is so well camouflaged in Arctic environments that it can sometimes pass as a snow drift.
Detailed explanation-2: -Animals have many adaptations to survive in this harsh environment; Animals need shelter and insulation in the Tundra. The animals here tend to have thicker and warmer feathers and fur. Many of them have larger bodies and shorter arms, legs and tails which helps them retain their heat better and prevent heat loss.
Detailed explanation-3: -Structures for defense Allow an animal to flee or hide from predators (Examples: Body design that allows for speed or jumping or wings and light-weight skeletons for flying.) Allow an animal to construct holes or tunnels to run into and hide or to climb (Example: paws, toenails or teeth).
