Question

Which character established that Elephant is an inhabitant of warm climate?
A) Almost hairless skin
B) Small eyes
C) Large body
D) Thick legs

Answer 1

Elephants are the largest land mammals that are present on this Earth. They have distinctly massive bodies, large ears and long trunks. Elephants use their trunks to pick any object, greet another elephant, suck up water for drinking, etc.

Complete answer:
Adaptive features of elephants for living in warm climates:

Elephants can live in extremely hot regions which have temperatures more than 120 degree Celsius.
They have long trunks which can hold food and water.
Elephants have long eras which enable them to hear very soft sounds and help them in keeping cold in hot and humid climates.
Elephants have a strong sense of smell which is used by them for finding their food.
Elephant have thick padded feet which help them in moving silently.
Elephants have almost hairless skin as hairs provide insulation to the body and also provide heat to the body.
Therefore, it has been clear from the above discussion that almost hairless skin character establishes that elephants are inhabitants of warm climates.

Hence, option ‘A’ is the correct answer.

Note: Elephants are the mammals that belong to the family Elephantidae. Three species of elephants are currently recognized. That are – the African bush elephants, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. Elephants are the herbivorous animals that means they only eat plant parts or plant products. They stay near the water when it is accessible.
