Words to learn in this book
- Arctic: The Arctic is at the top of the world at the North Pole. Both the Arctic and Antarctica are freezing cold and covered in snow ice during the winter. They are warmer in the summer and a lot of the ice and snow melts.
- Antarctica: Antarctica is at the bottom of the world at the South Pole. Both the Arctic and Antarctica are freezing cold and covered in snow ice during the winter. They are warmer in the summer and a lot of the ice and snow melts.
- camouflage: Many animals that live in snowy places have white coats during the winter. This makes it difficult for enemies to see them in the white snow. This is called camouflage. During the summer, when the snow and ice melts, their coats change to brown or gray.
- hooves: Moose have hooves. These are hard coverings at the end of their feet that protect them from the rocky and stony ground.
- antlers: Male moose also have huge antlers on their heads. The antlers are covered in a velvet skin. They grow a new set of antlers every year.
- dust baths: Lots of animals, such as birds and horses, have dust baths. This helps to keep their feathers or skin clean. When a snow hare has a dust bath, it rolls on its back in the dust. The fine dust helps to get rid of any insects that are making the hare itchy.
- blubber: Blubber is like a thick layer of fat under the skin. It helps to keep animals warm in the freezing cold. Seals, walrus, and polar bears have blubber.
- tusks: Walrus tusks are huge, front teeth that grow very long.
- prey: Animals that are hunted by other for food.
- balance: The snow leopard uses it very long tail to balance, the way you might stretch out your arms to stop yourself from falling if you are walking on a log.
