Muskox The muskox, also spelled musk ox and musk-ox, is an Arctic mammal of the family Bovidae, noted for its thick coat and for the strong odor emitted during the seasonal rut by males, from which its name derives. This musky odor is used to attract females during mating season. Its Inuktitut name umingmak translates to the bearded one. Muskoxen primarily live in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, with small introduced populations in the American state of A

Fauna's Life: in Cold Deserts Antarctica is considered a desert, with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland. Only cold-adapted organisms survive there, including many types of algae, animals (for example mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades), bacteria, fungi, plants, and protista.

What is the Difference Between Warm-Blooded and Cold-Blooded Animals? The terms cold-blooded and warm-blooded are misleading because cold-blooded animals' blood is not necessarily cold, it just varies based on the temperature of the environment. Another term for ectothermic animals is poikilotherms, which means animals that have varying body temperatures.

- Humans are warm-blooded animals, so are all other Mammals are found to exist all over the world in all different climates. Mammals such as chimpanzees and elephants dwell in tropical regions. Arctic foxes, polar bears and many other mammals make their home near the North Pole. Camels and coyotes live in deserts. Some mammals even live in the sea such as dolphins, seals and whales. One group of mammals, the bats, can fly. er mammals, to a certain extent, and birds. However warm blood is not really the question, many reptiles have blood far warmer than ours, but only on hot days.

Chilling Out, Warming Up: How Animals Survive Temperature Extremes By contrast, warm-blooded animals are present in a wider variety of environments and for a longer part of the year than cold-blooded animals. Hibernation For warm-blooded animals that don’t migrate, one way to survive the winter is to sleep through it.

Animal Facts: Arctic fox Some have a grey to dark grey-blue coat in the winter. The Arctic fox is the only canid that changes the colour of its coat in the summer. In addition to its thick coat, the Arctic fox is able to stay warm in the winter because it has short legs, a short muzzle and small rounded ears. These characteristics all reduce the amount of surface area it has for heat loss. Also, its feet are covered in fur, similar to the fur on a hare's foot.

- animals that can be found in the desert. A desert is defined as a region that receives very little rainfall. It can be hot or cold. There are various types of deserts all around the world, from the harsh elements of the Sahara desert in Africa to the 4 deserts of the Southwestern United States. Areas in Antarctica are examples of cold deserts. The animals that live in the desert usually have special adaptations that allow them to survive the extreme temperatures and conditions that are present in a desert. A

- polar ice cap Animals: The arctic tundra is home to polar bears, lemmings, caribou, arctic hares, seals, walruses, foxes, snowy owls, and other animals that don’t mind the cold. The Antarctic tundra has little mammal life – mostly seals and walruses – but several sea birds, like penguins, live in or migrate to this region. Plant life: The few plants that live in the tundra have adapted to the cold temperatures and darkness. Lichens, mosses, algae, and small shrubs can be found on the tundra, growing during the short summers in clusters that protect them from harsh winds.

What is the difference between cold and warm blooded animals? Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment.

Arctic Animals With a thicker coat, Arctic animals are generally large. The larger the animal, the greater the body mass to skin-surface ratio, and the smaller the relative heat loss. Northern ravens and Arctic foxes are the smallest animals found above the snow surface during the Arctic winter.

What Might Help an Animal Live in Cold Places? Temperatures plunge well below zero, fresh water and plants are often scarce and in some places the sun doesn't even rise to light and warm the Earth for extended periods. While humans couldn't survive outdoors for long in, say, the Arctic tundra, diverse types of animals have adapted to live there and in other cold climates successfully. Migration Some animals live in cold places for part of the year, but migrate to a slightly warmer and more hospitable environment when winter rolls around. Many types of birds, including various species of geese, ducks and cranes, fly south for the winter.

What Might Help an Animal Live in Cold Places? Thick fur coats are one way of keeping warm in cold climates, at least for land-dwelling mammals. Polar bears, wolves and musk oxes have thick or double layered coats to help keep warm. Emperor penguins have four layers of overlapping wind- and water-resistant feathers. Then, there's the blubber. Polar bears have lots of body fat, too, since their coats aren't much protection against cold water.

- Rabbits by nature are cold weather animals. They can easily tolerate temperatures at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower providing they have shelter from the wind and wet conditions. They have trouble tolerating temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit and must be kept out of direct sun light during the summer months.

Photos: The Amazing Animals of China The takin's large snout helps it warm the cold mountain air as it breathes, keeping the animal toasty even in the depths of winter. Takins also have thick, double-layered coats, according to the San Diego Zoo. Because takins live in such cold, remote climes, little is known about their numbers or behavior in the wild.

Busting Four Myths About Ductless Mini-Splits Cold-blooded animals, like reptiles, amphibians, and fish, become hotter and colder, depending on the the temperature outside. For example, when the sun sets at night, their bodies are cooler because it is less warm outside. When the sun is out, however, their bodies soak up the heat and become warmer.

What is a Cold Blooded Animal? A cold blooded animal, or ectotherm, is one that does not have an internal mechanism for regulating its body temperature. Instead, a cold blooded animal relies on solar energy captured by the environment. Reptiles, amphibians and fish are examples of cold blooded animals.
