question 17 of 25
a savanna is an ecosystem characterized by dense grasses and widely
spaced trees. temperatures are generally warm year - round, but rainfall
usually occurs only during the wet season. which of the following is a
behavioral adaptation that would help an organism survive in a savanna?
a. migrating to other areas during dry seasons
b. having large ears that release heat from the body
c. having white coloring to blend in with surroundings
d. hibernating during the winter months

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze option A

Migration is a behavioral adaptation. Moving to other areas during dry seasons (when resources are scarce) helps organisms find food, water etc.

Step2: Analyze option B

Having large ears to release heat is a physical (structural) adaptation, not a behavioral one.

Step3: Analyze option C

White coloring for camouflage is a physical (structural) adaptation, not a behavioral one.

Step4: Analyze option D

Hibernating during winter months is not relevant as savannas have warm - year - round temperatures and a wet - dry season pattern, not a winter season in the traditional sense.

Answer:

A. Migrating to other areas during dry seasons
