How did Claribel adjust to the new surroundings?

Correct Answer

Claribel adjusted remarkably well to the space station environment.

She learned to operate in the absence of gravity and could hang motionless in the air like a hummingbird with her wings folded along her sides.

She performed backward loops that no earthbound canary could manage and moved with leisurely flicks.

She thrived and grew fat, having little trouble adapting to the weightless conditions that would have troubled most animals.
