Question

The barren-ground caribou shown below is a large herbivore that lives in a subarctic climate near Yellowknife, Canada. Which of these is NOT an adaptation found in caribou?

Answer 1

Answer: C. Caribou can hold their breath for up to nine minutes underwater.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Caribou lives in areas that have a lot of snow sometimes so the evolved to have wider feet which ensures that they do not sink into deep snow. They however migrate to summer locations sometimes when the conditions are favorable and come back to the colder areas for the same reason.

Caribou eat a mix of food such as grasses, twigs and mushrooms. One thing they cannot do however, is hold their breaths for extended periods such as nine minutes, underwater.
