Animals of colder regions and fishes of cold water have thicker layer of subcutaneous fat. Describe why?

Answers (1)

The animals and fishes that are found in the colder regions or cold water have a thicker layer of subcutaneous fat.  This layer acts as an insulator and prevents heat loss from the body. This fat layer also stores food which can be used by the body during the scarcity of food, Thus, it will help the animals in resisting to low temperature in cold climates.
