Question

Animals have the innate ability to escape predation. Examples for the same are given below. Choose the incorrect example.

• A. Colour change in chameleon
• B. Enlargement of body size by swallowing air in puffer fish.
• C. Poison fangs in snakes
• D. Melanism in moths

Answer 1

The correct option is C Poison fangs in snakes

• Chameleons change colours to camouflage themselves and hide from predators.
  
• Puffer fish swallow air or water and inflate to protect themselves from predators.
• Melanism in moths (development of dark colour) gives them a survival advantage, as the moth's colour matches the environment.
• In contrast, poison fangs in snakes are special teeth associated with venom glands and are used to attack prey or predators, not as a way to escape.
  

So, the correct answer is option ‘C’.
