What are Adaptations By Azeb and Bashir
Polar Bears • Polar bears are creatures who have been specially adapted to their habitat and environment. • Adaptation • The special characteristics that enable plants and animals to be successful in a particular environment are called adaptations.
Lichens • Of all the plants, lichens are best adapted to survive in the harsh polar climate. Some lichens have even been found only about 400 km from the South Pole. On icy rock, lichens have the same strategy as plants have developed in the sand of the Sahara: they form an "oasis". Like in the desert they miss water. They have only a chance to survive, if they settle in an area with a convenient, damp microclimate.
