Question

Animals of colder region and fish of cold water have thick layer of substaneous fat

Open in App
Solution

Animals in colder regions have thick layers of fat, because fat acts as an insulator and doesn't let their body heat escape, which helps them survive in such extreme temperatures. Also, as not much vegetation is available in colder regions, the layers store nutrients that help the animal when needed.
