Organisms that live in deciduous forests have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. How are the bill and feet
of the platypus specially adapted for survival in their environment? a. close the nostrils in its bill when diving underwater; pointed bill for spearing fish for food; detect vibrations of moving prey using the pads on their feet b. detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on its bill; crush the food with grinding pads on the top and bottom of its bill; webbed feet c. have wide nails for digging burrows; webbed feet; grind food with modified teeth on the upper part of their bill d. detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on its bill; pointed bill for spearing fish for food; ‘finger-like’ toes on their feet that help them hold onto and eat their food
Organism that survive in the deciduous forests have aid in the survival of the animals by their unique adaptations.
The bills and the feet of the platypuses are specially adapted as they can detect the electric discharge of prey traveling through the sand using the small pits. The bills of the platypus helps in the searching the right mate.
They can also crush the food by the pads present on the top and bottom of the bill, webbed feet.
These are some adaptation that help in the survival of the platypus.
95% sure it is answer B) Detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on it's bill, crush the food with grinding pads on the top and bottom of it's bill (they don't have actual teeth), and webbed feet.
I did some quick research and it had all of those things. Hope this helps.
