Arctic animal as a reseacrch model

The Hooded seal is an expert diver and model to study hypoxia adaptations as it spends most of its life underwater Males have a red nasal sac. They inflate it to show who is the toughest.

Go, study on the muntains!

High altitude is also en environment where oxygen becomes rare, and organisms are forced to adapt

This muntain is not high enough to trigger hypoxic adaptations, but it has a cool pointy peak!
