Blubber: Thick fatty layer with many blood vessels



                                 It is considered as heat insulator


                Notice that blubber is a heat insulator that means that it

                slows down the heat transfer from polar bear to the cold

                                                   environment.



                        So, blubber keeps the body of polar bear warm.



                                      Polar bear



               Adaptation of polar bear to survive


                Polar bear: has white fur,


               thick fatty layer (blubber)


                Blubber (fatty layer) prevents the loss of



               heat from their bodies to the surrounding

               environment and keeps their bodies warm.
