Rabbits are very adaptable creatures because of their relatively fast reproduction functions and wide feeding habits. Freeze behaviour when startled reduces the chances of being seen by nearby predators.

How does a wolf survive in the wild?

All organisms have adaptations that help them survive and thrive. Some adaptations are structural. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism, like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive. For example, bird calls and migration are behavioral adaptations. Adaptations are the result of evolution. Evolution is a change in a species over long periods of time. Adaptations usually occur because a gene mutates or changes by accident! Some mutations can help an animal or plant survive better than other animals or plants in the species that don't have the mutation. For example, imagine a bird species. One day a bird is born with a beak that is longer than the beak of other birds in the species. The longer beak helps the bird catch more food. Because the bird can catch more food, he is healthier than the other birds, and he lives longer and breeds more. The bird passes the gene for a longer beak to his offspring. Birds with the longer beak also live longer and have more offspring, and the gene continues to be inherited generation after generation. Eventually the longer beak is found in all of the species. This doesn't happen overnight. It can take thousands and thousands of years for a new species to develop. Over time, animals that are better adapted to their environment survive and breed. Animals that are not well adapted to an environment may not survive. The characteristics that help a species survive in an environment are passed on to future generations. Those characteristics that don't help the species survive slowly disappear.

What adaptation best helps elks survive in the taiga biome?

There are several adaptations that help the elk survive in the taiga biome.One adaptation is that elk shed their fur/hair twice a year. This way they have a cooler coat in the summer and a warmer coat in the winter. Their hair sheds rain and helps keep the elk dry. The elk's hair is hollow which provides insulation from the wind and cold.Another important adaptation is the elk's antlers. Antlers serve as a defensive mechanism.Elk's hooves are also an important adaptation. The design of the hooves allows the elk to walk long distances on the wide variety of terrain that is found in the taiga biome. The hooves also allow the elk to paw through snow to get at the grass below. Since female elk do not have antlers, they use their hooves for defense.The elk's digestive system is also an important adaptation. Their four stomachs allow the elk to digest the various types of food the elk eats. The elk's teeth are also adapted for biting off tree leaves and mashing them into thin fibers.
