Question

Consider the following animals :
1. Hedgehog
2. Marmot
3. Pangolin
To reduce the chance of being captured by predators, which of the above organisms rolls up/roll up and protects/ protect its/their vulnerable parts?

Accepted Answer

Hedgehogs are well-known for their ability to curl into a protective ball of spines when threatened, shielding their soft undersides. Pangolins, similarly, possess scales that allow them to roll into a tight, armored ball, making them difficult for predators to attack. Marmots, while they may freeze or flee, do not typically curl into a protective ball as a primary defense mechanism.
