Animals Arctic Adaptations Fat, fur, and feathers are three common features that keep arctic animals warm by providing insulation from cold air and wind. Plant Growth Forms Plants Feathers Fur Tundra plants tend to be small (the ground surface is warmest), pubescent (stops wind and holds in heat), and use vegetative reproduction (flowers and seeds take a lot of energy and long time to develop). Small moss lichen Pubescent Fat Vegetative reproduction Arctic animals have shorter physical features (like nozzles, ears, and legs) to prevent the loss of heat through extremities. Tundra plants tend to be much smaller and better at absorbing and retaining heat than non-tundra plants. The temperature of plant tissues are typically much warmer than the surround air on sunny days. (Larcher. 1995) (Larcher. 1995)
