Which of the following gila monster adaptations is based on the reproductive cycles of gambel’s quails and cottontail rabbits? a. water absorption through their leaky skin b. fat storage in their tails c. burrowing during periods of inactivity d. their crepuscular activity schedul

b. fat storage in their tails

Gila monsters store fat in their tail whenever they eat so they can use it later in lack of food. Because their preys, such as Gambel’s quails and cottontail rabbits, have a reproductive cycle that does not give the Gila monsters constant preys, they use this characteristic to store energy as a form of adaptation to their preys' reproductive cycle.
