How do Whales, Penguins, and Polar Bears Keep Warm?

The video explores how polar animals like whales, seals, polar bears, and penguins survive in cold climates. It explains that these animals are warm-blooded, maintaining a constant internal temperature. Whales and seals use blubber as insulation, while polar bears rely on thick fur. Emperor penguins huddle together to share warmth. These adaptations allow them to thrive in freezing environments.

What characteristic do beluga whales, harp seals, and polar bears share that helps them survive in cold environments?

• They have blubber.

• They hibernate.

• They are warm-blooded.

• They are cold-blooded.

How does blubber help marine animals like whales stay warm in cold waters?

• It allows them to swim faster.

• It acts as a thick layer of insulation.

• It helps them store food.

• It makes them more buoyant.

What is a unique feature of blubber compared to human fat?

• It is thinner and more flexible.

• It is thicker and more springy.

• It is found only in the fins.

• It is used for energy storage.

How do polar bears keep warm despite having fat similar to humans?

• They migrate to warmer areas.

• They have two layers of fur.

• They hibernate during winter.

• They have a thick layer of blubber.

What strategy do emperor penguins use to stay warm during the coldest months in Antarctica?

• They grow a thicker layer of blubber.

• They huddle together to share body heat.

• They migrate to warmer regions.

• They develop a special type of fur.
