We all know that some animals adapt to living in very cold environment, like polar bears in the frozen Arctic. But what about the opposite situation? How do animals become adapted to the life in very hot places? A great example of animals beating heat is the camel living in deserts. A ...
Scientists have found that birds' beaks are larger because of the changing climate (气候). Today, the global climate is rapidly warming. Scientists found warm-blooded animals can keep their body temperature constant (恒定). They are adapting to a hotter climate. To adapt means to change. ...
Understanding how animals adapt to extreme environments is an interesting question in physiological genomics and stress biology. Animals can adapt to these harsh environments through physiological, morphological, behavioral, and molecualr responses, singly or in combinations. To sustain the environment and ...
Scientists have studied this in the past years.They have studied animals in warmer climates.They know that some of these animals have evolved (进化)certain features.These features allow animals to reduce body heat more easily.They are becoming more obvious as the climate warms.This is particularl...
Their humps store fat, which the camels use as a(n) _4_ of water and energy on the move. This _5 that they can cover over 160 kilometers or 100 miles in the desert without needing to drink water! These animals don't even _6_ in the 49℃ desert heat.There are two _7 of ...
1Humans in many parts of the world are having to ad⁃ just to climate change,but it appears that animals are hav⁃ing to adapt,too.2According to a new study,some warm⁃blooded animals like birds are evolving (进化)larger ears,beaks (喙)and legs in order to shed extra body heat ...
The ability to adapt to arid conditions can mean the difference between life or death for animals and plants that live in the desert. Some animals burrow deep underground in the heat of the day, lie in the shade until late afternoon or early evening, or have evolved salt glands, which all...
case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line piding us fromanimalsis not as clear as we used to think...
to the animal. Lionesses, for instance, tend to be more attracted to lions with darker manes. But, like that lizard’s melanized testis, darker substances absorb more heat, exposing lions with those alluring manes to more heat stress, making them less likely to...
How do animals adapt to cold deserts? Cold deserts: Cold deserts are areas that portray extreme mixed weather. They boil during summers and are excessively cold during winters. Such deserts are located in plateaus and areas that are mountainous. Similar to other deserts, they receive minimal amou...
