The correct Answer is:
To determine which adaptations are not found in polar bears, we will analyze each adaptation listed in the question:
1. **Padded feet**: Polar bears have padded feet that help them walk on ice and snow without slipping. This adaptation is present in polar bears.
2. **Thick fur on the body**: Polar bears have a thick layer of fur that insulates them against the cold temperatures of their Arctic habitat. This adaptation is also present in polar bears.
3. **Can drink large quantities of water at a time**: While polar bears can drink water, they primarily obtain moisture from the seals they eat, and they do not have a specific adaptation for drinking large quantities of water at once. This adaptation is not typically associated with polar bears.
4. **Nostrils with flaps**: Polar bears have nostrils that can close to keep out cold air and water, which is an adaptation to their environment. This adaptation is present in polar bears.
5. **Aestivation**: Aestivation refers to a state of dormancy or inactivity during hot or dry periods, which is not a behavior or adaptation seen in polar bears. This adaptation is not found in polar bears.
6. **Long eyelashes**: Polar bears do not have particularly long eyelashes as a specific adaptation. This adaptation is not commonly associated with polar bears.
Now, summarizing the adaptations not found in polar bears:
- Can drink large quantities of water at a time
- Aestivation
- Long eyelashes
Thus, the adaptations that are not found in polar bears are the third, fifth, and sixth adaptations listed.
**Final Answer**: The adaptations not found in polar bears are:
- Can drink large quantities of water at a time
- Aestivation
- Long eyelashes
