Question

Name any four animals living in :


a)Tropical rain forests and mention their adaptations.


b)Polar Regions and mention their adaptations


c)About any two migratory birds and the reasons for migrations.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest.  The animals that  live in tropical rain forests are Large Flying Fox.  King Colobus.  Crowned Eagle

(b) Polar regions are extreme cold regions of the Earth.  Polarbears , Penguins, seals .

(C) There can be several reasons for the birds' migration. Food is one of the major reasons for their migration. If they all stay at one place then food will be exhausted & scarce during the breeding time ex: Greater Flamingo

Bar Headed Geese

Cuckoo

Arctic Tern

Answer 2

Animals in the tropical rain forests are sloths, tapirs, jaguars, tigers and adapt Camouflage and Mimicry. Animals in the polar regions are Polar bears, Whales, Arctic Fox, Arctic Wolf and adaptations are white fur, a strong sense of smell. The two migratory birds are Canadian Geese and the Swallows of Capistrano and the reason for migrations is feeding and breeding.

Explanation:

• Rainforest animals include mammals such as sloths, tapirs, jaguars, tigers, howler monkeys, spider monkeys and orangutans; reptiles such as caimans and the green anaconda; amphibians such as poison dart frogs and the red-eyed tree frog; and birds such as toucans, macaws and the harpy eagle.
• Many animals have adapted to the unique conditions of the tropical rainforests. The sloth uses camouflage and moves very slowly to make it difficult for predators to spot.
• The spider monkey has long, strong limbs to help it to climb through the rainforest trees.
• The animal adaptation in a tropical rain forest is Camouflage, Mimicry, Having a limited Diet, Poison, Reduction of size and Stature, nocturnality, and Changing habitats.

• Animals in polar regions are Polar bears, Whale, Arctic Fox, Arctic Wolf, Pacific Salmon, Brown bears, Polar Bear and Whale.
• Animals in the polar region are adapted to the extremely cold climate by having some special characteristics such as white fur, a strong sense of smell, a layer of fat under the skin, wide and large paws for swimming and walking, etc.
• Migration is another means to escape the harsh, cold conditions.

• The most notable example of migration in birds are Canadian Geese and the Swallows of Capistrano and other birds like waxwings, phainopeplas, zebra finches, and black swans.
• Migratory birds fly hundreds and thousands of kilometres to find the best ecological conditions and habitats for feeding, breeding and raising their young.
