A tiger’s fur is orange-brown with stripes. Its fur helps it hide in a field of brown grass. When another animal comes near, the tiger can jump out of hiding and attack it. A toad’s body is brown. It blends in with brown sand. A toad can hide from predators while it looks for insects to eat.
What is one way that a tiger and a toad are similar?
Their skin is adapted for hunting at night.
Their skin keeps them cool in the sun.
They are both good swimmers.
Their color helps them hide to get food.
Animals that live in the frigid regions of the North or South Pole must adapt to special conditions. Some information about environmental conditions in polar regions is provided.

Several bird species that live in an area eat different things. Some eat plant material and others eat animals such as rodents.
If there is a disease that kills all of the rodents living in the area, which bird species would most likely decrease?

Species B because its main food source is gone
Species C because it eats food other than rodents
Species D because its food source includes snakes and lizards
Adaptations are:
special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat.
processes of making food in a plant.
types of soil and minerals in the ground.
mutations needed to join the X-men, like Wolverine.

It allows pollen to be attracted to flowers of the same species.
It keeps other plants from growing in their territory.
It attracts animals that can spread the seeds far away.
It eliminates competition with other plant species.
