What is the Chameleon? Chameleons change color primarily for communication and regulating body temperature, not for camouflage as a primary function.

What do you call a group of crows?
A) A Murder
B) A huddle
A Murder! Crows now have features that give them an edge over other birds in the niche of smart birds. Long wings allow them to fly efficiently to other places of the globe. Big bodies make them less of a target for predators. Big brain/intelligence allows them to adapt to new environments.

How do fish breathe underwater?
A) Through their Nose
B) Through their gills
Through their gills! Fish breathe using gills, specialized organs that extract oxygen from the water. They take water in through their mouth, which then passes over the gills where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream. The now oxygen-depleted water is expelled through the gill openings
