Question

The habitat of a rattlesnake is the hot, dry desert. Could this organism live in the

cold, Artic habitat? *

Answer 1

No, a rattlesnake would not be able to survive in the Arctic. This reptile is specially equipped with features suited to a hot desert, which would be a hinderance in a cold desert rather than an advantage. Also cold-blooded organisms must be able to bask in the sun to maintain a stable body temperature, but in the Arctic, that wouldn't be possible.
