Explain with examples, why we find animals of certain kind living in particular climatic conditions.

Answer:

Climate has a profound effect on all living organisms. Animals are adapted to survive in the conditions in which they live. Animals living in very cold and hot climate must possess special features to protect themselves against the extreme cold or heat, e.g. Animals living in polar regions have adaptations such as white fur, strong sense of smell, thick skin, lot of fats to protect it from cold, wide and large paws for swimming, etc.
