Question 15 • NY-Life Science: BiologyTerm 2 Hillcrest

Gila monsters are very well adapted to their homes. They have thick skin to prevent water loss and they burrow to escape the heat during the day. A Gila monster would most likely live in which biome?

Answer
A
taiga
B
temperate rain forest
C
desert
D
deciduous forest

Explanation

Thick skin helps a Gila monster conserve water, and burrowing lets it avoid the hottest part of the day. These are useful adaptations in a dry, hot environment, so the most likely biome is the desert (choice C).
