Foxes have
a keen sense of hearing.They can move their ears backwards
and forwards. This helps them to hear any small animals
moving about at night. |
| The
polar bear is called Nanuuq by the Eskimos. It lives
only in the Northern Hemisphere and spends most of its
time by the coast. Males are about 10 feet tall and
weigh up to 1,400 pounds. Females are around 8 feet
tall and weigh 400-600 pounds. They are so fat because
they store a 4 inch layer of fat under their skin to
keep them warm. |

The penguin is a flightless
bird. There are 16/17 species of penguin. All of them
live to be 15- 20 years old.The reason penguins never
get cold is because of their feathers. The air gets
trapped beetween their skin and the outside world
and keeps them warm. It is very like insulating you
house. Apparently, penguins aren't very clever either!!
