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 schedule

The correct answer is:

b. fat storage in their tails

Explanation;

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

c.) biotic: snails; abiotic: temperature climate
