Answer the Following Questions:

2. How do mongooses kill snakes?
3. How does the hump of the camels help them to survive when there is no water?
1 : Desert animals develop their own ways of coping with the severe desert conditions. They cannot survive without water but there are certain techniques which help them survive in the desert. For example, darkling beetles collect moisture on their legs and then lift them up in the air until the drops trickle into their mouths. Similarly when it is hot in the day, gerbils go in the cool underground burrows.
2 : Mongooses don’t get hurt in the process of killing a snake. They have very fast reactions and dodge every time the snake attacks. They continue to make a nuisance of themselves for a while and when the snake gets tired, they dive and make a kill strike.
3 : The humps of the camels act as a storage container for them. It helps in the nourishment of the camels because it is full of fat and when there is a shortage of food, this fat comes to use. The hump gets shrunken when the camels have nothing to eat for several days because the fat in the hump is used up. This is how the hump helps the camels to survive in the desert.
