Question: [QUESTION]Which bird's beak is also adapted to filter through mud?
Solution: Look at the picture of the northern pintail.
The northern pintail has a wide, flat beak. Its beak is adapted to filter through mud. The northern pintail gathers muddy water in its beak. Then, it pushes the water out through gaps along the sides of the beak. Bits of food, such as plant roots, are left behind inside the pintail's beak.
Now look at each bird. Figure out which bird has a similar adaptation.
The black swan has a wide, flat beak. Its beak is adapted to filter through mud.
The common nighthawk has a short, thin beak. Its beak is not adapted to filter through mud. The common nighthawk uses its beak to eat insects and other small invertebrates. | TheMrguiller/ScienceQA |
Question: [QUESTION]Select the elementary substance.
