Step-by-step solution
Adaptation Example Allen's rule Mammals from colder climates generally have shorter ears and limbs (extremities) to minimize heat loss. Example: Polar seal Physiological adaptation Kangaroo rat is capable of meeting all of its water requirements through its internal fat oxidation where water is released as a by-product. It can also concentrate its urine so that a minimal volume of water is used to remove excretory products. Thus, it is an example of physiological adaptation. Behavioural adaptation Desert lizard
