Answer:

Special characteristics adapted by specific animals allow them to carry out unique abilities in order to survive. For instance, a cheetah's long tail helps it balance when running at rapid speed in order to hunt. Or an arctic woolly bear caterpillar is able to be frozen and fill it's body with an antifreeze hormone that allows it to survive temperatures below freezing.
