← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when an arctic fox experiences summer pelage?
A)Increased UV radiation skin damage
B)Decreased camouflage effectiveness increases predation✓
C)Enhanced olfactory hunting success rate
D)Improved thermoregulation reduces energy expenditure
💡 Explanation
Decreased camouflage emerges because seasonal molting lags behind environmental change; decreased camouflage increases arctic fox predation rates, therefore fox is more vulnerable to predators, rather than increased radiative damage because summer coats still provide sunlight protection.
