Question

A carnivorous with stripes on the body moves very fast while catching its prey, it is likely to be found in?
a. Polar regions
b. Desert
c. Oceans
d. Tropical rainforest

Answer 1

Hint: The given description is the characteristics of animals like tiger, leopard etc. These are carnivorous that have stripes on their body that gives ability to blend with the surrounding. Also having strong jaws with a row of teeth for killing, tearing, biting and chewing flesh of animals.

Complete answer:
Carnivores are animals that get food by killing and eating other animals. They generally eat herbivores that feed on plants and plants products. The food chain is somewhat helpful for understanding it better. The four main food levels are
Level 1: Occupied by producers such as green plants
Level 2: Occupied by animals feed on plants and plant products and are called herbivores.
Level 3: Occupied by animals that feed on level 2 animals. Examples are like snakes, owls, monkeys, lemurs, deer, parrots etc.
Level 4: Occupied by large carnivores that feed on flesh of other animals like tigers, leopards, crocodiles, alligators etc.

This food chain or more less we can say the food web belongs to tropical rainforest. In this food chain carnivores are adapted to catch fast runner herbivores like dear and hence their bodies are modified accordingly. The main purpose of these animals having patterns or stripes on their body is to help them camouflage so that they can hunt easily by hiding themselves in between long grasses.

- Polar regions are very cold areas where animals' bodies are covered with white fur that helps them to camouflage, protecting them from predators and also helps them to catch their prey.
- Desert areas are very hot areas and hence common adaptations seen in desert animals are like big ears, humps to store fat and hoops to run easily on sands.
- Oceans animal adaptations include gills and special breathing organs.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: Carnivorous animals like tigers that have stripes on their body and adapted to run very fast to catch their prey as they feed on herbivores animals like deer, cows etc. this is actually a food chain and it is common in tropical rainforest areas.
