Solution

1. Animal skin and fur are better insulators than cloth.

2. This is because, their ability trap hot air is much higher since the captured air is not allowed to escape easily as there are very less number of pores in it.

3. Thus, Deepti felt warmer as the hot air from her body was trapped by the fur and she felt warm.
