Types of Movement by: Nadya
Moving in Air
Skin and Bones
A bat is the only mammal that flies
A bat wing is made of skin stretched over the bat's long finger bones
Feathers
Provide lift enabling it to fly very high
Help soar because of the large surface area
Paired Wings
A dragonfly has two wings on each side of it's body
Wings enable it to fly a long time and change direction quickly
Wings for Hovering
Small narrow wings of a hummingbird can flap rapidly
Allows it to fly forward, backward and even hover like a helicopter
Short, Round Wings
Some forest birds such as the pheasant have short, rounded wings
Enable them to take off rapidly
Front and Hind Wings
Are linked with a thin layer of cells
Helps the butterfly flap both wings at the same time
Moving on Land
Foot and Mucus
Animals contract their muscular foot to move
The foot oozes slippery mucus which makes it easier for the snail to move along
Long Arms
Grasps branches with long arms
Swings from place to place
Body Muscles
Animals use muscles to lift loops of it's body off the floor as it moves along
Long Legs and Two Toes
Long legs with only two toes on each foot
These traits help an ostrich run as fast as 60km/hour
Muscular Legs
A grasshopper's muscular hind legs enable it to push off a surface
An adult can travel up to 20 times its body length
Muscles and Bristles
Muscles that contract extend the animal forward
Also has Bristles that grab the soil
Moving in Water
Water Vascular System
Tube feet are part of the sea star's water vascular system
Grip surfaces with suction
Streamlined Bodies
A streamlined body helps the animal glide through water
Webbed Feet
Help a frog push itself through water
Jet Propulsion
Helps a squid move
Uses muscles to pull water into it's body and then shoots it out through a narrow tube
This shoots the animal (the squid) in the opposite direction
Tail Fin
Provide swimming power, along with the fish's side muscles
Swim Bladder
An internal, gas-filled sack
By adjusting the gas level, a fish can say at a certain depth for a longer time without using much energy
Fins for Balance
Help the fish stay upright in water
