Adaptations of Antarctic pinnipeds to their environment
Antarctica is an extreme environment, and organisms living there must contend with extreme cold, ice, and winter darkness. The seals are well-suited for life in this unique environment, with a variety of evolutionary, morphological, physiological, behavioural and other adaptations which allow these...
