Question

Which of the following is an example of behavioural adaptation:

  1. A turtle hiding inside its shell on the arrival of its predator
  2. A chameleon sitting on a branch and changing its color
  3. A butterfly mimicking another poisonous butterfly species to deter predators
  4. The spines of a porcupine

hintHint:

Behavioral adaptation: something an animal does usually in response to some type of external stimulus in order to survive.

The correct answer is: A turtle hiding inside its shell on the arrival of its predator


    Hard and rough shells provide turtles with protection. Their shells have quick reflexes that allow them to bundle up inside when they come under threat from other animals.
