Question 19 • CA-Life Science B (High School)

Ground squirrels inhabit African savannas. Which adaptation helps the ground squirrels live in this biome?

Answer
A
tan coloring to blend in with the surroundings
B
thick fur to conserve heat
C
sharp claws for climbing trees
D
white coloring to blend in with the surroundings

Explanation

African savannas are often dry and covered with tan grasses and soil. Tan coloring helps ground squirrels blend into these surroundings, making them harder for predators to spot. Thick fur is less useful in a warm biome, and white coloring would not camouflage them well.
