Question

Q11. Identify the animals, state their habitat and mention one adaptation present in each:​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Animal: Yak

Habitat: The primary habitat of wild yaks consists of treeless uplands between 3,000 and 5,500 m (9,800 and 18,000 ft), dominated by mountains and plateaus. They are most commonly found in alpine tundra with a relatively thick carpet of grasses and sedges rather than the more barren steppe country.

Adaptation: Yaks have special adaptations to help them excel at high elevations. The yak's tongue is extremely rough, making it well adapted for scraping mosses and lichens off of rocks and other tough surfaces. Like other bovines, the yak has a rumen. This is a part of the stomach that partially digests food and then used as cud.
