• long legs

• thick fur

• large ears

• sharp claws

The picture shows an eastern screech owl and an owl butterfly.

Based on the picture, how do the eastern screech-owl and owl butterfly use their appearance to survive in their environment?

• Both organisms blend into their environment so that the trees allow them to live inside their bark.

• Both organisms blend into their environment so sunlight will reflect off them and keep them cool.

• The owl butterfly's patterns help it blend in so it can hide and catch food, while the Eastern screech owl blends in so it can trick animals that want to eat it.

• The eastern screech owl blends in so it can hide and catch food, while the owl butterfly's patterns help it look like an owl so it can trick animals that want to eat it.
