Following are some of the characteristics of animals:
(i) Diets heavy on fruits(ii) White fur(iii) Need to migrate(iv) Loud voice(v) Sticky pads on feet(vi) Layer of fat under skin(vii) Wide and large paws(viii) Bright colours(ix) Strong tails(x) Long and large beak
For each characteristic indicate whether it is adaptation for tropical rainforests or Polar Regions. Do you think that some of these characteristics can be adapted for both regions?
Tropical rainforests:
(i) Diets heavy on fruits, (iv) Loud voice, (v) Sticky pads on feet, (viii) Bright colours, (ix)Strong tails, (x) Long and large beak.
Polar Regions:
(ii) White fur, (iii) Need to migrate, (vi) Layer of fat under the skin, (vii) Wide and large paws.
Every character is an adaptation for that particular region. So, it cannot be an adaptation for both the regions.
