Answer:
Animals in the alpine biome have developed several adaptations to survive cold temperatures and low oxygen levels. These include hibernating or migrating to lower elevations during the winter, having thick fur or feathers for insulation, and having shorter legs, ears, and tails to minimize heat loss. Many also have larger lungs or increased red blood cell counts to help them breathe in the thin mountain air.
