Question

Three that live in the savanna are lions, giraffes, and elephants. Choose two of these animals. For each one, describe an adaptation that has enabled it to survive in the savanna. Then tell which which animals in the population would be more likely to survive if a dry season was unusually long.

Answer 1

Giraffes and Elephants: Giraffes have adapted a long neck over time letting them eat and access food allowing them to survive. If a dry season was unusually long they would succeed fine because they are able to eat and drink from the trees. Elephants have survived with similar tactics of eating higher up, they have rough skin allowing them to outlast the heat, and only need water after long periods of time.
