How does camouflage help an animal?
Helps an animal to hide and blend in with their surroundings to escape from predators or other dangers

We tested the millipedes with a flashlight to see their response to bright light. What did we observe? A. animal data B. animal behavior C. animal feeding habits D. animal temperature
B. animal behavior

Why did we change the water in the crab habitat every few days with new salt water?
The salt evaporated out every few days. The fiddler crabs need salt water to survive.

Look at the diagram of the African dwarf frog. Which two strong body parts move a frog to safety?
legs and feet
