The special ability that animals in the polar region need is the ability to withstand cold weather. This is because the polar regions, such as the Arctic and Antarctic, experience extremely low temperatures for most of the year. To survive in such harsh conditions, animals in these regions have adapted in various ways such as having thick layers of blubber or fat to provide insulation, having compact bodies to minimize surface area exposed to the cold, and having specialized fur or feathers that help retain heat. Some animals also have adaptations like counter-current heat exchange systems in their limbs to prevent heat loss, and special adaptations in their lungs and blood to efficiently oxygenate their bodies in cold environments. These adaptations help them survive and thrive in the freezing temperatures of the polar regions.
