Question

1. Scorpion
2. Bear
3. Frog
4. All of the above

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : All of the above

Concept:

Adaptation 

• The meaning of adaptation implies how a species changes its body and behaviour to better suit its natural environment.
• There are an estimated 8.7 million species currently living on earth.
• They are found across a wide and diverse natural environment, ranging from frozen and desolate Arctic to the sweltering sands of the Sahara.

Explanation:

Hibernation 

• Many animals go under the ground or hide in small spaces during winter.
• This process is called hibernation.
• During this period the metabolic rate is reduced.
• In fact, it is a mechanism of survival.
• Amphibians like toads, scorpions, lizards and frogs undergo hibernation.
• Hibernation is also seen in bears.

Thus, all of the above shows hibernation.
