The paper has dealt with the physiological adaptation of mammals and birds in higher altitudes. Through intensive research, it has been found that the animals and birds that inhabit the higher altitude or shortly known as hypoxia environment have much more O2 hemoglobin affinity, and their number of red blood cells is increased. The concentration of Oxygen in their blood is more which leads to gaining the potential to adapt to the high-altitude environment. This paper aims to review an article that focuses on the physiological adaptation of mammals and birds in high-altitude environments. This study has also referred to other authentic research articles in order to support the discussion presented by the author of the main research paper. The main intention of this study is to lay information with ample evidence for justifying the potential for surviving in the hypoxia environment is sufficient in inhabiting mammals and birds.
