A polar bear can survive in polar regions because of padded feet and hump.
A. True
B. False

Explanation

Solution

A polar bear with the scientific name Ursus maritimus is a hyper-carnivorous bear whose natural range covers the Arctic Ocean and is primarily within the Arctic Circle. As well as the largest extant land carnivore, it is the largest extant bear species.

Complete answer: The polar region’s climatic conditions are still on the harsh side. There is extreme cold and snow covering much of the region. Only for 6 months, sunrise and sunset persist. The winters are so cold, the temperature drops down to -37 degree celsius. The species that exist under these conditions include the polar bear and the penguin. Various adaptations in these animals are responsible for them to survive in extreme cold and extreme hot climatic conditions. Some of the adaptations seen in polar beer are as follows: their white fur is camouflaged to shield them from predators against the white backdrop of snow and also allows them to capture their prey. The fur of polar bears protects them from cold. Two thick layers of fur serve as an insulator that protects them from the harsh environment around them. The polar bear carries out physical exercises to stay warm, such as swimming. They travel slowly and rest often to avoid being overheated. A good sense of smell enables them to capture a beast. They can remain underwater submerged, shutting its nostrils. They have padded feet, allowing them to run or climb on ice. So, it is true, because of thick fur and padded feet.
So, option A is the correct answer.

Note: Polar bears hunt seals from the edge of the sea ice for food, often feeding off fat reserves when no sea ice is present. Polar bears are known as marine mammals because of their reliance on sea ice. The polar bear is listed as an endangered species because of predicted habitat loss caused by climate change.
