Arctic Wildlife

Arctic wildlife refers to the diverse animals and plants that inhabit the Arctic region, characterized by extreme cold and unique ecosystems. Key species include polar bears, seals, caribou, and various birds adapted to harsh conditions. These animals have special adaptations, like thick fur or blubber, to withstand freezing temperatures. The Arctic environment is also home to unique flora, such as lichens and mosses, that thrive in short growing seasons. However, climate change poses a significant threat to this delicate ecosystem, impacting the survival of its wildlife and altering traditional migratory patterns and habitats.
