Question

How are animals living in hot and humid areas adapted to keep their bodies cool?

Answer 1

1. Animals living in hot and humid areas have adaptations for temperature regulation and evaporation of water to avoid getting uncomfortable and cooling their bodies.
2. Faster evaporation is induced by sweating, licking and panting.
3. They have long legs and tails and many also have large ears. The long legs keep their bodies above the hot ground.
4. Flapping of long ears helps in blowing air and cooling their body.
5. They are more active during early morning, evening and night.
