Best Answer

fats and oils are the same thing. The only difference is fats are solid at room temperature while oils are liquids are room temperature.

So animals living in cold conditions, particularly at the poles, have a layer of fat (sometimes called blubber) which is used as insulation against the cold, to keep their body heat inside rather than lost.
