Indian Elephants
• Indian Elephants live in dry grasslands, in India and Asia, therefore they need to keep themselves cool.
• Indian Elephants flap their large ears to cool their blood for circulation.
• “Using thermal cameras, biologists have discovered that the creatures bodies are covered in ‘hot spots’ that can help them lose heat.”
Fun Fact: Elephants also enjoy spraying themselves with water or mud to stay cool.

Qatari Camels
• Qatari Camels live in the desert and in hot, dry terrains.
• Because the desert in Qatar is so hot, camels need to keep cool in the day.
• Since a camel’s fat is stored in the hump, their body is not insulated and they are able to keep themselves cool in a desert.
Fun Fact: Contrary to a popular myth, camels do not actually store water in their humps, but fat.

Alaskan Polar Bears
• Alaskan Polar Bears generally live in snowy areas, along river banks and near water. Polar bears have developed special features for keeping warm in their icy terrain.
• These features include; water repellent guard hairs, dense under fur, and black skin for absorbing warmth.
Fun Fact: Alaskan Polar Bears usually live alone, except when mating or rearing cubs.

Leopard Seals
• Leopard Seals live in cold waters around Antarctica, so they have to keep warm to survive.
• Leopard Seals can keep warm because they have a thick layer of blubber under their skins.
Fun Fact: Leopard Seals sometimes play with penguins they do not intend to eat.
