What are cold habitats?

Cold habitats are environments characterized by low temperatures, typically found in polar regions, high mountains, and certain tundra areas. These habitats include ecosystems such as the Arctic and Antarctic, where organisms have adapted to harsh conditions, including permafrost and seasonal ice cover. Cold habitats support a unique array of flora and fauna, including specially adapted species like polar bears, seals, and various cold-resistant plants. The biodiversity in these areas can be limited, but the adaptations of the organisms are often remarkable.
