Question

A leaf insect looks like leaves and polar bears living in snowy regions have white fur on its skin. Although these animals are very different from each other, what is the one way in which they are similar?
A. They use their bodies to attack enemies.
B. They use their bodies to confuse enemies.
C. They use their bodies to prepare food.
D. They migrate to long distances to protect themselves from enemies.

Answer 1

Hint: Living organisms are evolved with certain features in their body or with certain habitat for survival. Some animals grow with chemical toxins, camouflage so that they are not identified by predators.

Complete answer:
A leaf insect is an insect which appears the same as a leaf. The body is flat, green coloured with six legs and solid exterior shell. Leaf insect contains leaf-like veins which makes it look more similar to a true leaf. Sometimes bugs mistake them as leaves and bite them. Leaf insects have the property of camouflage so that they can confuse the predators and they cannot distinguish them even in some species. It is observed that the body contains the bite marks to confuse the predators easily. These are mainly found in tropical forests.

Polar bears are broad white bears which survive on the Polar Regions bounded with the ice and snow. Some features of Polar bear are:
1) The animal contains thick layers of fur which shelter them from the severe cold. It also contains fur on the foot so that they can comfortably walk on snow.
2) It contains tiny ears and the body is rounded so that the surface area of the body can be less. 3) Polar bears are very good swimmers which enables them to clamp the prey.
4) Polar bears are white in colour the same as their surrounding background because of that the enemies are not able to identify them. The white coat is so camouflage that it makes confusion in the mind of enemies.

Therefore the correct option is B.

Note: Polar bears are known to be the largest predators on the land which are mainly found in Arctic regions. The paw (legs) pads contain rough surfaces which prevent them from slipping in the ice.
