    What is hibernation?

    • A special, very deep sleep. The animal's body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down where the animal uses very little energy.
    • Animals travel to other places where the weather is warmer or they can find food.
    • To keep warm, animals may grow new, thicker fur in the fall. On weasels and snowshoe rabbits, the new fur is white to help them hide in the snow.

    What is adaptation?

    • Animals travel to other places where the weather is warmer or they can find food.

    • To keep warm, animals may grow new, thicker fur in the fall. On weasels and snowshoe rabbits, the new fur is white to help them hide in the snow.

    • A special, very deep sleep. The animal's body temperature drops, and its heartbeat and breathing slow down where the animal uses very little energy.

    Correct Answer
    A. To keep warm, animals may grow new, thicker fur in the fall. On weasels and snowshoe rabbits, the new fur is white to help them hide in the snow.
    Explanation
    Animals adapt to their environment by growing new, thicker fur in the fall to keep warm. This adaptation is particularly noticeable in weasels and snowshoe rabbits, as their new fur is white, which helps them blend in with the snow and hide from predators. This change in fur color is a survival strategy that allows these animals to remain camouflaged and increase their chances of survival in snowy conditions.

     Does this animal:

    • Migrate?

    • Adapt?

    • Hibernate?

    Correct Answer
    A. Adapt?
    Explanation
    The question asks if the animal migrates, adapts, or hibernates. The correct answer is "adapt?" This suggests that the animal is capable of adjusting to its environment in order to survive and thrive. It may have the ability to change its behavior, physiology, or physical characteristics to suit different conditions. This adaptation allows the animal to be flexible and resilient in the face of changing circumstances.

    Does this animal: - ProProfs

    Does this animal:

    • Migrate?

    • Adapt?

    • Hibernate?

    Correct Answer
    A. Hibernate?
    Explanation
    The question is asking whether the animal hibernates, migrates, or adapts. The correct answer is "hibernate" because hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animals that helps them conserve energy during periods of extreme cold or food scarcity. This behavior is commonly observed in animals such as bears, bats, and groundhogs, where they enter a deep sleep-like state to survive harsh winter conditions.
