Question

Explain, with examples, why we find animals of certain kind living in particular climatic conditions.

Answer 1

Animals are adapted to the conditions in which they live. These adaptations are the just because of long process of evolution. It would be difficult for them to survive if they are moved to region having different climate conditions than from their habitat. Consider the following examples:
1. A polar bear has thick layer of fat under their skin which acts heat insulator. It protects the bear from extreme cold climate of polar region. The polar bear cannot survive if it is moved to hot and dry desert region.
2. Monkeys have long tails for grasping branches adapted to live in tropical rain forests. It cannot survive in Polar Regions.
