The larger the surface area to volume ratio of an organism, the more space there is over the surface for heat to be lost to the atmosphere, therefore the smaller the organism, the reduced amount of heat loss.
This comes in useful for animals like the Polar Bear and the Arctic Wolf and Fox because they need to have a very low surface area compared to their volume. This is why Polar Bears and Penguins look pudgy and round and why Arctic foxes and wolves are very small.DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THIS!
