Answer 1

Complete Question:

Which animal adaptation is well-suited for the canopy of a tropical rain forest?  

A) hooves of the forest antelope

B) the pythons ability to crush its prey

C) the prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey

D) the hand-like trunk and large grinding teeth of the African forest elephant

Answer:

The prehensile gripping tail of a spider monkey is the best animal adaptation character for canopy of tropical rain forest.

Explanation:

In forest ecology, canopy is defined as the upper layer of mature tree crowns which acts as a habitat for many wildlife animals such as parrots, sloth, Orangutan, spider monkey etc.  Now we can see that option A, B, D talks about the adaptation characterizes of animals whose habitat is not canopy.

But in option C talks about the adaptational character of spider monkey which is about the prehensile gripping tail of the spider monkey which helps them to move gracefully from branch to branch.  Hence we can conclude option A as right answer.
