Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a turtle feels threatened, it will hide inside of its shell. This is an example of what type of behavior?
A
Conditioning
B
Imprinting
C
Migration
D
Reflex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mind your fingers and toes should you ever encounter one of these critters. When they feel threatened, these turtles will use their powerful, beak-like mouth to bite, and they don’t like to let go.

Detailed explanation-2: -When danger strikes, turtles use their flexible necks to retract their heads safely inside their shield-like shells. Evolutionary researchers have long assumed that turtles developed this trick as protection against predators, but new research suggests that its original purpose was likely not defense, but food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shell rot is caused by bacterial or fungal infections. Uneven growth of the scutes can cause pyramiding of the shell, which is a deformed shape, and shells can be cracked, split, chipped or broken just as bones can be.
