Question

Organisms that live in desert and desert-scrub biomes have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. Coyotes are crepuscular desert mammals that grow to be approximately three feet tall and weigh between 20 and 50 pounds when full-grown. How does being crepuscular help enable the coyote to survive the heat of the desert?
a. It is only active at dawn and dusk.
b. It is only active at noon.
c. It is only active at night.
d. It is only active in the morning.

Answer 1

Crepuscular animals are those animals that are only active during dawn and dusk. The correct option is A. Crepuscular animals are usually desert animals; they come out during the dawn and at dusk in order to escape the harsh heat of the day and the biting coldness of the night. By the reason of this adaptation, they are able to conserve their energy and carry out reproductive processes.
