    Emus can go for how long without eating? - ProProfs

    Emus can go for how long without eating?

    • Weeks

    • Days

    • Hours

    • Years

    Correct Answer
    A. Weeks
    Explanation
    Emus can go for weeks without eating. This is because emus have a unique ability to store large amounts of fat in their bodies, which can sustain them during periods of food scarcity. Additionally, emus have a slow metabolism, allowing them to conserve energy and survive for extended periods without food. This adaptation is particularly useful in their natural habitat, where food sources may be scarce or unpredictable.

    • Two

    • 4

    • 5

    • Several

    Correct Answer
    A. Several
    Explanation
    Females can lay several clutches of eggs in one season. This means that they have the ability to lay multiple sets of eggs during the breeding season. The exact number of clutches can vary depending on the species and environmental factors. This reproductive strategy allows females to maximize their chances of successful reproduction and increase the survival rate of their offspring.

    Which of the following perfectly describes Emu's drinking habit? - ProProfs

    Which of the following perfectly describes Emu's drinking habit?

    • They drink large amounts of water.

    • They drink per hour

    • They drink once a day.

    • They drink infrequently

    Correct Answer
    A. They drink infrequently
    Explanation
    Emus are large flightless birds native to Australia, and they have adapted to survive in arid environments. Due to their ability to extract water from the vegetation they consume, emus do not need to drink water frequently. Instead, they can go for long periods without drinking. Therefore, the statement "They drink infrequently" perfectly describes their drinking habit.

    • 30

    • 55

    Correct Answer
    A. 50
    Explanation
    Emus can sprint at a speed of 50 km/h. This means that they can run very fast, which is impressive considering their large size. Emus are flightless birds native to Australia, and their ability to sprint at such high speeds helps them evade predators and cover long distances in search of food and water.

    • July and August

    Correct Answer
    A. May and June

Their height allows them to have a better view of their surroundings and helps them to spot potential predators or sources of food. Additionally, their long legs and tall stature enable them to run at high speeds, making them excellent runners.

    What happens to the male during incubation? - ProProfs

    What happens to the male during incubation?

    • He eats a lot 

    • He drinks an adequate amount of water.

    • He loses a significant amount of weight.

    • He wards off dangers 

    Correct Answer
    A. He eats a lot 
    Explanation
    During incubation, the male bird needs to consume a lot of food in order to provide the necessary energy for himself and the developing eggs. This is because incubation requires a high metabolic rate, as the male needs to maintain a constant temperature for the eggs. Therefore, eating a lot is essential for the male bird during this process.
