Habitat, Environment and Adaptation
Habitat: Arctic, ice, snow,
Environment: one of the harshest environments in the world. extremely cold, chill winds
Polar bear adaptations: white fur to blend in so their prey cant see them
Blubber (fat) and fur to keep them warm
Long and curved claws to grip to ice and kill prey

Organisms are ADAPTED to their habitats. Animals have features which help them live and reproduce in their habitats. We say organisms are adapted to
their habitat

Environmental conditions- cold, wet and windy weather - ground water is frozen- steep rocky ground- small animals live in dark caves- tall trees with smooth bark grow in the mountains.-they have berries on their highest branchesExtension: what behavioural adaptations might the animal have
TASK: Design an imaginary creature that is adapted to survive in a habitat of your choice. Make a large drawing and label all its important features.You will need to think about:• what it eats and how it gets water• how it moves around• how it is protected from the weather.
