Episode #2.2

Summary Extreme Cold Special - Steve studies and experiences Arctic conditions, and how polar prey and predators adapt to it. Shivering his arse off, he demonstrates how poorly nearly-bald human skin compares to furs, especially the most dense with fluffy lining, or feathers with down for that matter. Even closer to fainting he gets submerged in icy water, which Arctic fisher species brave with fur and fat layers. Yet even they couldn't copy the trick of a frog species that slows down it metabolism and uses anti-frost in its blood so it can frost and defrost seasonally.
