Arctic Wildlife Adaptations and Migration

Ashley, the wildlife host, discusses how different animals survive winter. She introduces the concept of winter and its challenges, then highlights three animals: the wood frog, which freezes solid; the caribou, which migrates long distances; and the arctic fox, which adapts with camouflage and dense fur.
