Question

Which of the following is not an adaptation of animals living in polar regions?

• A. Wide and large paws
• B. Layer of fat under skin
• C. Thin skin with scales
• D. Strong sense of smell

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Thin skin with scales

Animals living in the polar region such as the polar bear have a thick layer of fat and a thick fur to withstand the cold. They also have wide and large paws which help them walk better on ice or snow. They have a good sense of smell and are usually white in colour to hide from their prey while hunting. Thin skin with scales is an adaptation in reptiles.
