Large nasal passages conserve water because there are many convolutions. These make air move back and forth quickly, and the moisture hits the convolutions and is absorbed back into the body.

What are some adaptations for the kodiak bear?

How do moose adapt to their environment?

Moose have several adaptations to thrive in their environment, such as large bodies to conserve heat in cold climates, long legs for wading through deep snow and tall vegetation, a long snout and upper lip to reach food in deep snow, and a keen sense of smell and hearing to avoid predators. They also have large, flat antlers that help males compete for mates during the breeding season.


How lion survive in heat?

Lions survive in heat primarily through their behavioral adaptations and physiological features. They tend to rest during the hottest parts of the day, seeking shade to avoid direct sunlight and conserve energy. Additionally, their light-colored fur reflects some sunlight, and their large bodies help dissipate heat. Lions also engage in social grooming, which can aid in regulating body temperature.


What does the structure of lungs enable them to do?

The structure of the lungs, with its large surface area and thin respiratory membranes, allows for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the blood. The network of branching airways and alveoli increases the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed into the bloodstream, while also enabling the removal of waste carbon dioxide during exhalation.

How might large and complex nasal cavities conserve water during exhalation?

Large nasal cavities that are very complex have convolutions. These convolutions help to keep the moisture in when the animal exhales.


Many desert mammals have extremely convoluted nasal cavities. How might these large and complex nasal cavities conserve water during exhalation?

Moisture facilitates the diffusion of gases through the epithelial lining of the alveoli in the lungs. Mammals have convoluted turbinate bones in the nose - especially desert mammals. This allows moisture in the exhaled air to come in contact with cooler membranes before leaving the nares - so the water in the air condenses on the membranes and can be retained. So dry air comes in, gets moist, gas exchange occurs, and then the moisture is pulled back out before it's completely exhaled.

Is it true that green anaconda does not eat anything during their pregnancy?

Anacondas eat by swallowing whole animals, some quite large, which they have asphyxiated. Pregnant anacondas, because of the reduced space in their body cavities while they are carrying perhaps several dozen developing snakes up to 3 feet long, have little space in their body cavities for large prey. As a result, they may fast or eat very little and infrequently during the later part of their pregnancies.
