Survive

Snakes cannot survive in places where the ground stays frozen year round so there are no snakes north of the Arctic Circle or in Antarctica.

The higher the fall, the more likely a cat is to survive it.

Otters survive by hunting, and as such they live in unpolluted waters.

Lionesses are caring mothers who will even take care of a neglected cub, allowing him/her to suckle and giving them a chance to survive.

Cheetahs have evolved to live in an environment where water is scarce, and can survive on one drink every three to four days.

Snow affects ecosystems, as well, by providing an insulating layer during winter under which plants and animals are able to survive the cold.
