Question: Which characteristic is most common among animals living in a cold climate?
Answer: layers of fat
Hypothesis: layers of fat are often a part of animals that live in cold climates
Supporting facts: sent1: what an object is made of is a kind of characteristic sent2: a warm environment usually has more food than a cold environment sent3: layers of fat are used to keep animals warm sent4: traits that help animals survive in a certain kind of environment are often found in animals in that environment sent5: climate is the usual kind of weather in a location over a period of time sent6: staying warm means keeping warm sent7: keeping warm is the opposite of becoming cold sent8: a layer of something is similar to a part of something sent9: if an organism eats something then that something is a source of frood to that organism sent10: blubber is a kind of fat sent11: fur is a covering around the body of an animal sent12: staying warm has a positive impact on an animal 's survival / health sent13: if a living thing becomes too cold then that living thing will die sent14: a layer of something is similar to the area of something sent15: cold environments have cold weather / temperatures sent16: if the environmental temperature / air temperature is too cold then an animal / a living thing in that environment may become cold sent17: an animal can survive in an environment with little food by storing fat sent18: cold environments usually have little food for animals sent19: an animal needs to eat food for nutrients sent20: as the amount of food an animal eats decreases , that organism will become thinner sent21: an animal usually requires a warm body temperature for survival sent22: an animal is a kind of living thing sent23: some animals' fur grows thicker for staying warm in the winter sent24: trait is synonymous with characteristic sent25: an animal / living thing requires nutrients for survival
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] an animal can survive in an environment with little food by storing fat [AND] cold environments usually have little food for animals [INFER] int1: an animal can survive in a cold environment by storing fat [BECAUSE] if a living thing becomes too cold then that living thing will die [AND] an animal is a kind of living thing [INFER] int2: if an animal becomes too cold then that animal will die [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] keeping warm is the opposite of becoming cold [INFER] int3: an animal requires warmth for survival [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] if the environmental temperature / air temperature is too cold then an animal / a living thing in that environment may become cold [INFER] int4: an animal requires warmth for survival in a cold environment [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] layers of fat are used to keep animals warm [INFER] int5: layers of fat are used by animals to survive in a cold environment by keeping warm [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] int5 [INFER] int6: layers of fat are used by animals to survive in a cold environment [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] traits that help animals survive in a certain kind of environment are often found in animals in that environment [INFER] int7: layers of fat are often a part of animals that live in cold environments [BECAUSE] cold environments have cold weather / temperatures [AND] climate is the usual kind of weather in a location over a period of time [INFER] int8: a cold environment means a cold climate [BECAUSE] int7 [AND] int8 [INFER] int9: layers of fat are often a part of animals that live in cold climates
