Question
which evolutionary adaptation might be found in a temperate grassland consumer? a. extra fat or blubber b. tail for gripping tree limbs and vines c. absence of fur d. stomach with 4 chambers for digesting grass
A temperate grassland consumer is a herbivore that eats grass. Ruminants, common in grasslands, have a 4 - chambered stomach (rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum) to digest the tough cellulose in grass. Extra fat/blubber is more common in cold - water or polar animals for insulation. A tail for gripping is typical of arboreal animals. Absence of fur is not typical for temperate grassland animals as they need some insulation.
