Question

Describe how three specific adaptations will arise in the white tailed deer

Answer 1

The three specific adaptations of white tailed deer are adaptations of their senses, limbs, and tail.

Explanation:

The senses of vision, hearing and smell are specifically adapted to detect their predator

• Vision:  
• Wide vision: Eyes located on the side of the head facilitates enhanced broad range of vision – can scan to about 270 degrees, span in all directions expect behind it.
• Dark vision: Through light receptor cells, reflective pigment tepatum, and wide opening pupils
• Hearing: Large, wide-cupped ears can maneuver and rotate to 180 degrees to gather sound from all directions, pinpoint and focus, and to amplify sound
• Smell: Can detect odor from even 150 to 200 yards away

Limb: Long muscular limbs to sprint and jump high and to run fast. Hooves work to defend against predators

Whitetail: The specific whitetail helps to detect danger from any predator, lifts up upon sensing danger and provides a warning signal to the deer
