Question 2

A rainforest researcher watches three different animals. The leaf insect looks just like a leaf, the poison‑dart frog has bright orange skin, and the spider monkey has a long tail that can grip things. Which of the following explanations correctly matches each animal’s adaptation to how it helps the animal survive?

Accepted Answer

Camouflage: The leaf insect looks like a green leaf so predators have trouble seeing it, helping it avoid being eaten. Warning colors: The poison‑dart frog’s bright orange skin tells predators it is poisonous, so they stay away. Prehensile tail: The spider monkey’s tail can wrap around branches, letting it hold on while moving and reach food safely.

Answer

Camouflage: The leaf insect’s leaf shape hides it from rain, keeping it dry. Warning colors: The poison‑dart frog’s colors warn other frogs that the area is dangerous. Prehensile tail: The spider monkey’s tail stores extra food for later.

Answer

Camouflage: The leaf insect’s green color makes it invisible to birds, but it also scares away predators. Warning colors: The poison‑dart frog uses bright colors to blend in with bright flowers. Prehensile tail: The spider monkey’s tail helps it float in water.

Answer

Camouflage: The leaf insect’s green color helps it blend in so it can catch insects more easily. Warning colors: The poison‑dart frog’s bright colors attract mates, which helps the species grow. Prehensile tail: The spider monkey’s tail is long so it can swing far between trees.
