Lemmings’ bodies perfectly fit their environmental conditions
and lifestyle. They remain active throughout the arctic winter with-
out freezing to death, because their heavy fur that grows in the win-
ter reduces heat loss and protects them from the cold. They also
grow longer front claws. With their claws, they dig tunnels under
the snow to form their burrows, where they live, protected from the
cold and their predators.
God, Lord of the whole universe, has created lemmings in ac-
cord with their environmental conditions. For example, collared
lemmings’ coats turn from brown to white for the winter. In sum-
mer they are brown, but in winter they are all white. Their white
winter coats help them to avoid the predators that depend upon
them for food.
