how do polar animals combat the advers environment they live in?

With great difficulty. Penguins tend to huddle together to stay warm. Polar bears have black skin and hollow quill like fur that collects sun energy like a solar water heater. Nature has adapted many polar animals, and even Eskimos with unique abilities that are very individualized for survival.\nGreat question!

Depends on what they are fighting for.\n\nIf it is a grizzly female they are fighting for, the grizzly wins. \nIf its a polar female they are fighting for, the grizzly wins. \nIf its seals they are fighting for, the polar wins.

Polar bears are endemic to the northern polar region for the same reason as elephants are indigenous to Africa and Asia. They just didn't migrate to the areas around what became Antarctica when they had the chance.

Freezing cold temperatures, no food for months, and protecting their young. Try watching march of the penguins, you can probably download it at www.limewire.com. It'll be quick if you have a high speed connection. Good luck.

If polar bears had the opportunity to eat penguins, I'm quite sure they would. The reason they don't is because polar bears and penguins live a long distance apart. Polar bears live in Arctic regions of North America, Europe and Asia, whereas penguins live in the southern hemisphere. Some books imply that all penguins live in Antarctica. This is not true - in fact, only two species (the Adelie and emperor penguins) breed on Antarctica. Several species of penguins live around South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and the Galapagos penguins live on the Galapgos islands (surprise!), which are on the equator. This is still a long way from the Arctic. \n\nThe problem about polar bears and penguins relates to many Christmas cards etc, which show polar animals living together, when, in fact, they don't. \n\nI hope that this answers your question. \n\nAll the best \n\nHaley

Penguins have a special patch on their body that secretes oil. They use this oil to waterproof themselves so that they are less effected by the chilly waters.\nEmperor Penguins have developed a system that allows all of them to stay warm. They all huddle in one big group, which conserves their body temp. They cycle through which penguin gets to be on the inside and which on has to be on the outside. \nPenguins also have thick layers of fat that insulate them.

It depends.. iF htey live there all year round they have layers fo fat called blubber\nthey also have fur... polar bears have clear fur to collect heat and light and warm the bears. \n\nif they are travelling inbetween cold and warm( like humans d0)\nthey do things like shiverring and teeth chattering, also the blood rusehs to the skin to warm and away from the ears adn the feet to keep the inner organs warm

Penguins live in the South Pole and Eskimos in the North Pole

Polar bears a bigger in size compared to Pandas.  Polar bears are  usually tougher creatures and can usually be found in extremely cold weather. \nPandas can usually be found in tropical countries, and they have become an endangered species, according to WWF Wildlife watch.  \n\nFor more info you can goto www.wwf.com

Penguins cannot be eaten by Polar Bears, as these birds are endemic to the antarctic and Polar bears are only found in the artic (South and North poles, respectively).\n\nWhen a penguin  does die though, they do decompose, but at a bit slower rate than they would in a warmer climate. Other scavenging animals can also feed on the penguin carrion as well.

Mostly by ambushing it's prey. Leopard seals will wait under water near a chunk of ice that is frequently used by prey species as an exit from the water (most often the victims are penguins) and they will swim at their target, grasp them with their teeth and kill them.

Most animals shed or grow fur/feathers in order to adapt to different temperatures.

When an animal's environment changes, the animal needs to change in order to adapt to their environment. For example, if area gets colder then the animal adapts to their new environment by growing thicker fur. Natural selection kills off the ones with short fur allowing the ones with longer furs to reproduce.

It depends on heat and their own weight.It is harder for large animals to cool themselves.

Kind of -- at least, they live in different hemispheres. Polar bears live in the Arctic, in the northern hemisphere; Penguins live in the Antarctic and a few other parts of the southern hemisphere. They do not all live near the south pole, however -- Galapagos penguins are actually quite close to the equator.

Usually most cornered, frightened, angry animals will fight.  Not necessarily for the throat, but whatever they can latch onto.  So be cautious when dealing with small animals ie rats, mice, ferrets, rabbits.

Polar bears are found only in the northern hemisphere
