How do Arctic Animals Stay Warm in Icy Water?

Winter is always a fun time to talk about arctic animals. Animals like walruses,
seals, and polar bears all have a thick layer of fat, called blubber, that keeps them
warm in the icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic. And polar bears have black skin
underneath two layers of fur that help trap the heat when they are on land.

Here is a fun fact: Although you often see Polar Bears and Penguins together
in books and movies, they actually live at opposite ends of the Earth. Polar Bears
only live in the arctic (North Pole) and penguins live in the Antarctic (and other parts
of the Southern Hemisphere).
