Question:
Tropical rainforests are very humid and get lots of rain. This leads to lush plant growth, including tall trees and large, colorful flowers. Primates, such as the orangutan pictured above, often live in tropical rainforests. Which of the following describes a characteristic that allows orangutans to live in the rainforest?
1- Orangutans have orange fur that blends in with the treetops
2-Orangutans have long limbs that allow them to climb trees easily
3-Orangutans have thick hair that helps to keep them warm.
4-Orangutans have small ears that do not get cold very easily.
Step-by-step explanation:
The main physical characteristics of the orangutan are the large head, long and flexible arms, prominent mouth, and abundant fur with a very bright red-orange hue. Standing up, they can measure two meters and the males weigh up to 120 kg. The orangutan's arms are appropriate for its lifestyle because it spends most of its time (about 90 percent) in the trees of its home, the tropical rain forest. They even sleep in the heights, in nests made with leafy branches. In fact, Sumatran orangutans have long, strong arms, 1 or 1/2 times the length of their legs that enable them to move easily in the trees.
Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:
Orangutans have long limbs that allow them to climb trees easily
