Very small animals are rarely found in polar region mainly because:

1. Smaller animals have a relatively slower heart rate

2. Smaller animals have a more surface area relative to their volume

3. Smaller animals are invariably herbivores

4. Smaller animals rely on diffusion for exchange of gases with the environment

No predator can become proficient at acquiring prey because:

1. Predators are not as intelligent as prey.
2. Predators are too large to be fast enough.
3. Prey populations evolve more rapidly than predator populations.
