that help them to survive:
–They generally have thick fur or feathers to keep them
warm.
–Many animals have sharp claws and are good at
climbing trees.
–They have large feet to allow them to walk on the
snow without sinking.
–Many of them change colours from white fur in the
winter, to help them hide in the snow, to brown fur in
the summer, to help them hide in the trees.
