The polar bear is one of interesting animal in arctic which can survive the cold weather of arctic.All summer long polar bear eat as much as food they can.When winter starts, polar bears go into their dens and sleeps for the whole winter.This is called hibernating.Hibernating saves the polar bears lots of energy.The heart beats slows down and their body temperature lowers.This is how they can survive the winter.

Penguins, seals, whales, wolves, and owls are some animals that survive the winter in the arctic. Penguins keep warm by getting in a big group of penguins so they can huddle close together. Seals and whales just swim in the water looking for food to eat. Wolves and owls also hibernate like polar bears.
Seals, penguins, Artic fox, and snowy owls can also survive in the cold tempeture. The Artic fox keep warm with fur and a thick hide and the seals have a thick layer of blubber. Penguins have feathers to keep warm on land and fat to keep warm at sea. The snowy owls also stays warm because the feathers on their body keeps them warm.
