Skunks are resistant to what....
-
Snake venom
-
Tarantuala venom
-
Dat frog poison
-
European bee poison
Correct Answer
A. Snake venomExplanation
Skunks are resistant to snake venom. This means that skunks are not affected by the toxic substances present in snake venom. Their bodies have developed a defense mechanism that allows them to neutralize or tolerate the venom without suffering any harmful effects. This resistance is likely an adaptation that has evolved over time, providing skunks with protection against potential snake bites.Rate this question:

An octopus has what colour blood(this is an easy one)
-
Blue
-
Black
-
Purple/orange
-
Red
Correct Answer
A. BlueExplanation
Octopuses have blue blood because their blood contains a copper-based protein called hemocyanin, which gives it a blue color. Unlike humans and other vertebrates, who have iron-based hemoglobin in their blood, octopuses have evolved to use hemocyanin to transport oxygen throughout their bodies. Hemocyanin is less efficient than hemoglobin at carrying oxygen, but it is better suited for the low-oxygen environments in which octopuses often live, such as deep sea habitats. This adaptation allows octopuses to thrive in their unique environments.Rate this question:

A. Biting into ints skullExplanation
The jaguar kills its prey by biting into its skull. This method is effective as it allows the jaguar to quickly incapacitate its prey by inflicting a fatal blow to the brain or spinal cord. By targeting the skull, the jaguar ensures that its prey is unable to defend itself or escape, increasing its chances of a successful kill.Rate this question:
