why is that the animals found in temprate zone have more amount of fat than the animals found in tropic zone?

Answer 1

protection from the cold
food to last through the winter

Answer 2

As required by the environment the temperate (check your spelling) zone requires more insulation from the cold whereas the tropic zone being warmer does not. Additionally the food sources in the temperate zone supplies more fat content. The tropic zone higher temperature also burns fat more readily.

Answer 3

This is due to natural accomodation of living organisms at their environment. One of the uses of body fat is keeping the body warm,like a natural coat. Animals in tropic zones have to live in very high temperature conditions and therefore they don't need that much fat as those that live in lower temperature conditions. Consequently their organism will adapt to the environment by melting the fat in the case of animals living in high temperature areas,while preserving the fat in the case of animals living in colder areas.

Answer 4

Animals in a temperate zone need more fat in order to help them stay warm and regulate body temperature. Go to the arctic and you will see animals with many more layers of fat, especially if they are seagoing mammals. This insulates them from the bitter arctic winters and cold ocean waters.

Answer 5

The layer of fats act as an insulator. It does not conduct body heat away and the animals remain warm.

Answer 6

Because animals living in a colder climate need more fat to keep them warm.

Answer 7

the ones in hot places burn more engery coz of the heat n the ones in cold counries need the extra to keep warm.

Answer 8

^_^ Tropical animals don't need as much insulation

Answer 9

its coz they need insulation n also they practice hibernation(winter sleep)thats why they need more fat n energy coz they do not eat ne thing during that period

Answer 10

maybe to protect themselves better from the cold??
