Loggerhead sea turtles live in the ocean and nest on the Florida coast. The female loggerhead sea turtle lays more than 100 eggs in the sand on a beach. How is laying so many eggs an important adaptation that helps these turtles survive?
The more eggs that are laid, the greater the chance that more turtles will live to become adults.
A large number of eggs in one place makes it possible for the mother to lie on the eggs until they hatch.
Large nests of eggs help keep the eggs warm enough to allow more turtles to hatch.
If many turtles hatch, they can help defend each other against predators in large numbers.

Two animals that live in Florida are the American bittern and the key deer. The bittern is a bird that has a blue and brown colored back that allows it to blend in with the sawgrass of the lakes it lives near. When it feels threatened, the bittern freezes and points its head skyward to resemble a reed. The key deer is brown in color, lives in the forest, and freezes when it feels threatened. Using the information above, how do these two animals use similar adaptations in order to survive in their very different environments?
Both the bittern and the deer use the movement of the trees and bushes around them to distract predators so they can escape.
Both the bittern and the deer use their small size to hide from approaching predators.
Both animals use their coloring and lack of movement to avoid being seen by predators.
Both animals live in groups and huddle together with their family for protection from predators.
