Question

Camouflage is a kind of adaptation in which an organism deceives others by merging its colour with that of its surroundings. Now tell me what kind of colour will best suit for a Himalayan rabbit in the snowy mountains to hide itself from a polar bear?

• A. Red
• B. Blue
• C. White
• D. Black

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

White

Camouflage is a way in which an animal or a plant appears in its color or shape in order to mix itself with the surroundings so that it can prevent itself fro being seen by the predators. Since the Himalayas are snowy mountains, thus a Himalayan rabbit should be of white colour which is best suited so that it can hide itself easily against the white snowy mountains and thus help it in protecting it against its enemies and predators.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
