Write the adaptive features along with the facts how they help the following animals-
POLAR BEARS, PENGUIN, POLAR BIRDS, RED EYED FROG, MONKEY, TOUCAN, ELEPHANT and LION, TIGER
Answers
Answer:
The polar bear
Their adaptations include: a white appearance - as camouflage from prey on the snow and ice. thick layers of fat and fur - for insulation against the cold. a small surface area to volume ratio - to minimise heat loss.
Adaptations in Penguins
➢ They have thick skin and a thick layer of fat below their skin which protects them from extreme cold. wings and webbed feet which make it a good swimmer. This adaptation helps penguin to catch fish as prey. ➢ They live together in large numbers and huddle together to keep themselves warm.
Red-eyed frog
Has developed sticky pads on its feet which help it to climb easily on the trees on which it lives. The sticky pads on feet also allow the red-eyed frog to attach itself to the branches and leaves of the trees. 2) The big and bulging bright-red eyes of this frog are an adaptation for protection.
Monkeys
Monkeys use their strong arms and legs to help them live happily high in the treetops. They also have another cool adaptation, a prehensile tail, or a tail that can grab and hold things.
Toucan
The beak provides a means of preening feathers and defending against smaller predators. The toucan adjusts blood flow to the beak to regulate their body temperature through controlled heat loss, so the bird does not overheat in its tropical habitat.
Lion
Lions have various adaptations, including acute sense of smell, night vision, powerful paws, sharp claws, sharp teeth, rough tongue and loose belly skin. These adaptation features help lions survive in their habitats
Tiger
The tiger's striped coat helps them blend in well with the sunlight filtering through the treetops to the jungle floor. The tiger's seamless camouflage to their surroundings is enhanced because the striping also helps break up their body shape, making them difficult to detect for unsuspecting prey.
