Question 49 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Which of the following adaptations would you expect to find in an animal in the alpine biome, but not in the taiga?

Answer
A
hibernation
B
migration
C
large lungs
D
large paws

Explanation

The alpine biome is found at high elevations, where the air has less available oxygen. Animals there may develop large lungs to take in more oxygen. Hibernation, migration, and large paws can also help animals survive in the cold taiga, so the alpine-specific adaptation is large lungs.
