Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 15RQ
Although dehydration is one of the most serious physiological obstacles that land animals must overcome, there are others. Think of as many as you can, and think of various strategies that different terrestrial animals have to overcome these obstacles. (Hint: Think of humans, insects, and amphibians; also think of as many different terrestrial habitats as you can.)
