Asked by emily

Why do human beings use running shoes, winter boots, snowshoes, skis and flippers? Why are these not biological adaptations? Use animals as examples. Write 4-5 sentences.

Running Shoes are used to protect your feet from bruises, the weather and cuts.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Right. Why don't animals have running shoes? What protects them from bruises, the weather and cuts?

Answered by emily
I don't know why animals don't have running shoes or any other types of shoes?
Answered by emily
what are the reasons
Answered by Ms. Sue
Don't they have tough feet? Don't they have leather-type material on the bottoms of their feet? Nature adapted them to their environment.
