As a creator, identify potential challenges an animal will face in its habitat and render workable solutions to these challenges

As a creator, one can understand the changes in the environment and can create an animal according to those changes.

Explanation:

The animal can experience change in temperature, difficulty in obtaining food, mates, water, and shelter. Animal that lives in cold environment must have thick coat, thick fur, hard claws so that cold ice cannot be felt by the animal, must have similar color as that of the snow or ice so as to protect oneself from the predators by mimicking the color of the ice, or can camouflage prey by remaining undetected. Animal must have appreciable amount of fat to keep the body insulated in otherwise cold environment. Such an animal can also hibernate when there is extreme cold condition.
