The image below shows a group of meerkats. Meerkats live in habitats that are very dry, hot, and sandy.

Which structural adaptation most likely helps the meerkats survive in their habitats

A.) Meerkats have flexible necks, so they can reach tree leaves for food.

B.) Meerkats have sticky tongues, so they can catch insects to eat.

C.) Meerkats have sharp claws and powerful front legs, so they can dig to get cool.

D.) Meerkats have long, curly tails, so they can climb tall trees

i am pretty sure its C

Explanation:

Meerkats are specially adapted to living in the harsh desert environment. Dark patches around their eyes help them be effective lookouts by reducing the glare of the sun, much like a baseball player who paints dark lines beneath his eyes. Their eyes also allow them to take in a wide angle view of the scene. This helps prevent predators from gaining an advantage by sneaking up.

Meerkats also possess special adaptations to help them burrow. Their eyes have a clear protective membrane that shields them from dirt while digging. Their ears also close tightly to keep dirt out.

These are just some fact for them where it says that they dig so probbably it is C.

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.

option c is the correct answer.
