Question

The deer’s legs are adapted for
A. Walking
B. Hopping
C. Running
D. Wading

Answer 1

Hint:
The deer have four legs, all of which are used for walking or for running.
Instead of a foot that has toes or pads, deer have hooves at the end of their legs.
The hooves are useful in the running and also in the climbing.

Complete answer:
The deer's legs are adapted for the running and the leaping.
The deer have the long legs with strong muscles and the ligaments which increase the speed and the thrust in the deer's stride.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Additional Information:
The deer’s coats have hollow hairs that help them to keep them insulated in the cold weather.
Their ability to change the coat color helps them to camouflage in the different seasons, and the spotted coats of fawn helps them to hide on the forest floor.
As the ruminants, deer have four chambered stomachs that allow them to chew their food quickly and then store it for further chewing and the digestion later.
This gives them the ability to eat quickly in an area where they may have to watch for the predators.
It also allows them to eat plants which other animals are not able to digest.
The deer have good senses of smell and the hearing to help them notice the danger.
When deer runs, they can easily follow each other by looking for the white tails that they have.
The deer are excellent runners, and can travel at the speed of almost thirty miles in an hour.
They are also good leapers and the swimmers.
Bucks that are a male deer have antlers that they can use as a means of defense.
They may also use their antlers to fight with the other bucks when competing for the mate.

Note:
- The deer have the keen sense of hearing and seeing which protect them from the predator.
- Their white tails are most likely seen during the dusk time trying to find the food and to disappear at dawn.
- The white-Tailed deer can run rather quickly and jump really high due to their long legs.
