Savanna and Grassland Biomes

Question 12 • 26-27 - C - RUSD Environmental Science S1

Organisms that live in the savanna and grassland biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. Which of the following organisms is most likely to be found in a grassland?

Answer
A
a bird that nests in trees
B
an animal that burrows
C
a large predatory cat
D
an animal not adapted to cold temperatures

Explanation

Grasslands have few trees, so a bird that nests in trees is less likely to find suitable habitat there. Burrowing helps animals escape predators and harsh weather in open grasslands, making an animal that burrows the best choice. Large predatory cats can live in some grasslands, but burrowing is a more characteristic adaptation among grassland organisms.
