sample answers:
Warning coloration is a defense mechanism that protects animals from predators. The professor uses an example of the skunk to illustrate it.
Skunks have a distinctive marking with a big white stripe that stretches from their head all to way to their tail. The white stripe on their black body makes the skunk very recognizable. Skunks also have special glands that can produce a repulsive smelling liquid.
When the skunk is approached by a predator, like a wolf, it will spray the wolf with this liquid, which is very unpleasant to the wolf. The next time when a wolf sees a little black body with a big white stripe, it’s going to associate the coloration with the terrible smell and avoid confrontation.
