polar wildlife
Creatures of ice
Polar wildlife refers to animals adapted to survive in Arctic or Antarctic regions—polar bears, penguins, seals, walruses, and Arctic foxes among them.
The term appears in conservation discussions and nature documentaries: Climate change threatens polar wildlife as sea ice diminishes.
It encompasses both terrestrial and marine species dependent on frigid polar ecosystems.
