Questions and Answers

1.

-How long is an adult anteaters tongue.
- A.
  
  1foot
- B.
  
  2foot
- C.
  
  3foot
- D.
  
  4foot
Correct Answer
B. 2foot

Explanation
An adult anteater's tongue is 2 feet long. Anteaters have long tongues that they use to catch ants and termites, which are their primary food source. The length of their tongue allows them to reach deep into ant hills and termite mounds to extract their prey. This adaptation is essential for their survival as it enables them to efficiently consume their preferred food.

Skunks are resistant to what....
- A.
  
  Snake venom
- B.
  
  Tarantuala venom
- C.
  
  Dat frog poison
- D.
  
  European bee poison
Correct Answer
A. Snake venom

Explanation
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.

An octopus has what colour blood(this is an easy one)
- A.
  
  Blue
- B.
  
  Black
- C.
  
  Purple/orange
- D.
  
  Red
Correct Answer
A. Blue

Explanation
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.

- B.
  
  In their bum
- C.
  
  In their cheeks
- D.
  
  In their tail
Correct Answer
D. In their tail

Explanation
Tasmanian devils store their fat in their tail. The tail serves as a reservoir for fat storage, allowing them to survive during periods of food scarcity. This adaptation helps them maintain energy reserves and survive in their natural habitat.

- B.
  
  Biting into ints skull
- C.
  
  Biting into its heart
- D.
  
  Pinning it down with its claws
Correct Answer
B. Biting into ints skull

Explanation
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.
