Answer: camouflage
Hypothesis: an example of camouflage is an arctic fox's fur becoming white in the winter in an arctic environment
Supporting facts: sent1: hair / fur is a part of skin for protection / keeping warm sent2: adaptation is when an organism develops a trait over time for survival sent3: hiding can be used for avoiding predators sent4: an example of camouflage is an organism looking like its environment sent5: an arctic fox turns from brown to white for the winter sent6: the color of / coloration of fur is an inherited characteristic sent7: an example of camouflage is an organism looking like leaves sent8: some animals' fur grows thicker for staying warm in the winter sent9: an adaptation / an ability has a positive impact on an animal 's / living thing 's survival / health / ability to reproduce sent10: the color of an environment means the color of the things that environment contains sent11: the colors of parts of an organism are inherited characteristics sent12: if an animal 's fur is a certain color then the skin of that animal is probably that same color sent13: camouflage can be used for hunting for prey / food sent14: if an animal 's fur is a color then that animal is that color sent15: hiding means visibility / ability to be seen decreases for camouflage sent16: some environments change color sent17: an animal is a kind of organism sent18: coloration means a thing 's color sent19: an example of a seasonal change is an animal growing thick fur for keeping warm in the winter sent20: snow falls during the winter in the arctic environment sent21: when snow falls in an environment , that environment will become white sent22: color is a property of something that describes how that something looks sent23: an arctic fox is a kind of animal sent24: coloration means a pattern of colors sent25: hiding is a kind of protection against predators / from predators
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] color is a property of something that describes how that something looks [AND] an example of camouflage is an organism looking like its environment [INFER] int1: an example of camouflage is an organism having the same color as its environment [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] some environments change color [INFER] int2: an example of camouflage is an organism changing into the color of the environment [BECAUSE] an animal is a kind of organism [AND] an arctic fox is a kind of animal [INFER] int3: an arctic fox is a kind of organism [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int3 [INFER] int4: an example of camouflage is an arctic fox changing into the color of its environment [BECAUSE] if an animal 's fur is a color then that animal is that color [AND] an arctic fox is a kind of animal [INFER] int5: if an arctic fox's fur is a color then that arctic fox is that color [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] an arctic fox turns from brown to white for the winter [INFER] int6: an arctic fox's fur turns from brown to white for the winter [BECAUSE] snow falls during the winter in the arctic environment [AND] when snow falls in an environment , that environment will become white [INFER] int7: an arctic environment becomes white during the winter [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: a arctic fox's fur and an arctic environment both become white in the winter [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] int8 [INFER] int9: an example of camouflage is an arctic fox's fur becoming white in the winter in an arctic environment
