Adaptations that allow some animals to survive extreme temperatures include physiological and behavioral adaptations. Physiological adaptations like thick fur or blubber help insulate against cold, while some species employ torpor or hibernation to conserve energy during extreme cold. Conversely, animals in heat extremes might adapt with features like a thin body, nocturnal behavior to avoid heat peaks, or specialized cooling mechanisms, such as sweating or panting. These strategies enhance their chances of survival in harsh climates.
