G4 2Q SS Animal Adaptations and Habitats Quiz

What is camouflage in animals and how does it help them survive in their habitats?

• Camouflage helps animals blend in with their surroundings, making it difficult for predators to spot them.

• Camouflage makes animals stand out in their environment, making it easier for predators to spot them.

• Camouflage only helps animals hide from their prey, not from predators.

• Camouflage has no impact on an animal's ability to survive in its habitat.

Name three animals that use camouflage as a defense mechanism and describe how they blend into their surroundings.

• Elephants, because they can blend into the trees with their large ears

• Giraffes, because they can turn invisible when threatened

• Lions, because they change color to match their environment

Explain how camouflage helps predators in hunting for their prey in the wild.

• Camouflage has no impact on a predator's ability to hunt

• Camouflage helps predators blend in with their surroundings, making it easier for them to sneak up on their prey without being noticed.

• Camouflage makes predators more visible to their prey

• Camouflage helps predators communicate with their prey

What is bird migration and why do birds migrate?

• Bird migration is the act of birds hibernating during the winter months. Birds migrate to conserve energy and avoid extreme cold temperatures.

• Bird migration is the movement of birds from one tree to another within the same area. Birds migrate to socialize with other bird species and find mates.

• Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement of birds from one place to another. Birds migrate to find better food sources, suitable breeding grounds, and favorable climate.

• Bird migration is the process of birds changing their feathers for different seasons. Birds migrate to avoid predators and find better nesting spots.

Name three bird species that are known for their long-distance migration and explain their migration patterns.

• Ostrich - They migrate from Africa to Europe, covering around 5,000 miles non-stop.

• 1. Arctic Tern - They migrate from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back, covering around 44,000 miles round trip. 2. Bar-tailed Godwit - They fly from Alaska to New Zealand, covering around 7,000 miles non-stop. 3. Ruby-throated Hummingbird - They migrate from North America to Central America, covering around 500 miles over the Gulf of Mexico.

• Flamingo - They migrate from South America to Asia, covering around 3,000 miles over the Pacific Ocean.

• Penguin - They migrate from the North Pole to the South Pole, covering around 10,000 miles round trip.

Describe the challenges that birds face during migration and how they overcome them.

• Birds face challenges such as boredom, lack of exercise, and too much food during migration. They overcome these challenges by playing games, doing yoga, and going on a diet.

• Birds face challenges such as exhaustion, bad weather, and finding food and water during migration. They overcome these challenges by building up fat reserves, flying in flocks for safety, and using landmarks and celestial cues for navigation.

• Birds face challenges such as traffic, pollution, and noisy neighbors during migration. They overcome these challenges by taking public transportation, wearing masks, and using noise-canceling headphones.

• Birds face challenges such as losing their way, getting lost in the crowd, and forgetting their passport during migration. They overcome these challenges by asking for directions, staying close to their group, and applying for a new passport.

How do desert animals adapt to survive in their harsh environment?

• By developing physical and behavioral characteristics suited to the harsh environment.

• By building underground shelters

• By wearing heavy fur coats

• By migrating to a different climate

Name three desert animals and explain their specific adaptations for living in the desert.

• 1. Camel - They have humps to store fat for energy and can go long periods without water. 2. Fennec Fox - They have large ears to dissipate heat and thick fur to protect from the sun. 3. Sidewinder Snake - They have a unique way of moving across the sand to avoid overheating and conserve energy.

• Polar Bear - They have thick fur to keep warm and can hibernate during extreme heat.

• Giraffe - They have long necks to reach water and can survive without food for long periods.

• Elephant - They have long trunks to store water and protect themselves from the sun.

Explain how the body structure and behavior of desert animals help them conserve water in their arid habitat.

• Desert animals have no special adaptations for conserving water

• Their body structure and behavior help them conserve water in their arid habitat.

• Their body structure and behavior make them lose more water in their arid habitat

• Their body structure and behavior cause them to need more water in their arid habitat

What are the different types of aquatic habitats and how do they support diverse animal life?

• Urban and suburban environments; by providing pollution and habitat destruction

• Desert and tundra environments; by providing extreme temperatures and limited resources

• Mountain and forest environments; by providing high altitudes and dense vegetation

• Freshwater, marine, and estuarine environments; by providing food, shelter, and breeding grounds
