Detailed explanation-1: -Polar bears are well adapted for survival in the Arctic. Their adaptations include: a white appearance-as camouflage from prey on the snow and ice. thick layers of fat and fur-for insulation against the cold.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal Adaptations in the Tundra Biome 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: -Plants also have adapted to the Arctic tundra by developing the ability to grow under a layer of snow, to carry out photosynthesis in extremely cold temperatures, and for flowering plants, to produce flowers quickly once summer begins. A small leaf structure is another physical adaptation that helps plants survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -The fauna found in the Tundra region include the Polar bear, Lemming, Reindeer and the Arctic fox.
