In the cold and frozen Antarctic, animals have special features or traits that help them to survive in the cold. Penguins have waterproof feathers and huddle together for protection against bitter chills. Whales have layers of fat and seals have thick fur. How do you think these features help these animals to live in the Antarctic?
