Name one challenge posed by the arctic fox's habitat and identify an adaptation that equips the arctic fox to overcome that challenge (2 points) Explain how the arctic fox's adaptation provides the animal with an advantage, increasing the likelihood of the animal's survival and reproduction (1 point)
Challenge: Harsh cold temperatures in the Arctic
Adaptation: Thick fur coat with specialized hairs that trap heat to provide insulation
Explanation: The thick fur coat of the arctic fox helps to trap heat close to the body, providing insulation against the extremely cold temperatures in its habitat. This adaptation allows the arctic fox to maintain its body temperature and survive in freezing conditions. By having this thick fur coat, the arctic fox is able to conserve energy that would otherwise be spent on regulating body temperature. This adaptation increases the likelihood of the arctic fox's survival and reproduction in its harsh environment.
