Conditions here are harsh, and survival requires specific adaptations. Reindeer have an ultra-fine and dense underfur with a shaggy upper layer. The outer hairs are hollow, like the fur of a polar ...
Fire adaptations are traits of plants and animals that help them survive wildfire or to use resources created by wildfire. These traits can help plants and animals increase their survival rates during a fire and/or reproduce offspring after a fire.

Species reintroduction is the deliberate release of a species into the wild, from captivity or other areas where the organism is capable of survival. [1] The goal of species reintroduction is to establish a healthy, genetically diverse , self-sustaining population to an area where it has been extirpated, or to augment an existing population .

Other adaptations include the development and elongation of antennal and locomotory appendages, in order to better move around and respond to environmental stimuli. These structures are well endowed with chemical , tactile and humidity receptors [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 10 ] (such as Hamann's organ in the cave beetle Leptodirus hochenwartii [ 11 ] ).
An Alpine chough in flight at 3,901 m (12,799 ft). Organisms can live at high altitude, either on land, in water, or while flying.Decreased oxygen availability and decreased temperature make life at such altitudes challenging, though many species have been successfully adapted via considerable physiological changes.
