Question

Match the external features of animals to their respective habitats.

Answer 1

1. Furs act as an insulating blanket that keeps the animal warm living in cold climates like Polar regions.

2. The fins of aquatic organisms help it swim and balance itself and navigate itself through the water.

3. Long prehensile tails easily support arboreal organisms by their body weight while clasping and hanging from branches, and are commonly used to seek out supportive holds.

4. Hard body scales made up of keratin are often found in terrestrial reptiles which help them in protection, camouflage and temperature regulation.
