Which of the following describes three adaptations chameleons have for survival?

• A. An incorrect list
• B. An incorrect list
• C. The three adaptations: color change for camouflage, a long sticky tongue for catching prey, and independently moving eyes for a wide field of vision.
• D. A beaver-like trait.

Answer: (C)

Survival through specialized traits that help an animal feed, hide, and stay aware of threats or opportunities in its environment. Chameleons use color change to blend into their surroundings, making it harder for predators to spot them and easier to ambush prey. They have a long sticky tongue that shoots out to capture prey quickly from a distance, reducing the chance of alerting other predators or losing an opportunity. Their eyes can move independently, giving them a wide or nearly complete field of view without moving their head, so they can watch for danger and spot prey at the same time. Together these three adaptations describe how chameleons survive in the wild. The other options don’t describe all three known survival traits or describe traits not associated with chameleons.
