Detailed explanation-1: -How do rabbits survive the cold winter? Rabbits typically do well in colder temperatures. Rabbits stop shedding their fur during the fall and grow a thick fur coat that keeps them warm in the winter. They are relatively comfortable in temperatures as low as 32 degrees.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ultimately, rabbits are resilient and adaptable. The main adaptations that explain the rabbit’s adaptive success are its nutrition (wide adaptation to food and good nutritional use of caecotrophy), immune system (powerful and developed), and other aspects related to genetics and behaviour.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rabbits’ fur helps them to blend in, or camouflage, with their surroundings, and these animals eat their own poop in order to get the water they need. Some rabbits hide in a form in order to avoid getting eaten by a predator.

Detailed explanation-4: -Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thicker coats of either fur or hair grow in to act as an additional layer of insulation. Mountain goats have very heavy wool undercoats and hollow hairs that keep air trapped close to the body, keeping the cold and wetness out. Similar to mountain goats, moose also grow a coat with hallow hairs to keep them warm.
