Polar Animals
Know about other polar animals besides penguins and polar bears — seals that swim under ice, walruses with long tusks, Arctic foxes that turn white in winter, snowy owls, narwhals with their unicorn-like tusk, and whales that migrate to polar waters to feed — and that all these animals have special features to survive extreme cold

Can your child name several animals that live in the freezing polar regions — like walruses, Arctic foxes, snowy owls, or narwhals — and explain how they cope with the cold?
