Tim's Adaptation
Adaption to catch prey
Venom
Either they stun their prey or make them feel sleepy
Sticky tounge
Their tongue onto their prey
Strong claw or Jaw
They use their sharp claw or jaw to capture their prey
Speed
It will run up to its prey
Setting up traps
They set up traps to lure in their prey then eat them
hunting in pack
They work together to hunt their prey
Sharp teeth
They tear the flesh or their prey
Camouflage
They blend in with the surrounding then wait for a prey
Strong sense
They can smell where their preys are
Adaptation to escape from their predator
Patterns on the body
Make the targets more confuse
Poisonous skin
To paralyze or kill the target
camouflage
Mimic their surrounding to camouflage to be invisible from their targets
Increase in size
scale, shells and spines
Extreme Physical conditions
Cold
The temperature most of the time hit below 0 degrees and places are covered in pernerment ice or snow
Examples
Penguines
They have a layer of fats to conserve heat
Hot
It is very hot during the day so animal must learn to conserve water as there is very lest water bodies
examples
Rodent
They protect themselves from the heat by covering the entrance of their burrow with soil or dirt to prevent how wind from entering
Jackrabbit, Fennec fox
They protect themselves from the heat by using their large ears with a large number of blood vessels to provide larger surface area to lose heat faster
Snakes, rodent foxes
They protect themselves from the high temperature by sleeping during the day in their burrows or dent then come out at night to hunt
Adaption to obtain enough sunlight
Land plants compete with one another for light
They adapted strong woody stem and branches to hold the leaves in the best position to capture the maximum sunlight
Plants with weak stem like vines and morining glory
Adapt to have special twisting stems, tendrils and clasping roots, to climb on trees or poles to obtain enough sunlight
Adaption to obtain air in water
Animals needs oxygen to carry out respiration
Land animals take in oxygen from the surrounding air
Aquatic animals either they breathe in oxygen from the air or breathe in the oxygen dissolved in the water
Blowholes
Examples
Whale and dolphins
Located on top of their head helps them breath when they arte swimming near the surface
Special nostrils
Examples
Seals, walrus, alligator and crocodile
Nostriles at the tip of their snouts or heads that are closed when under water
Gill chambers
Examples
Mudskippers and hermit crab
Gills chamber store water to ensure that the gills are always wet
Gills
Examples
Fish and tadpole
The gills extracts oxygen from the water and realesing carbon dioxide back into the water
Breathing tube
Examples
Water scorpian and the larvas or pupa of the mosquito
The tubes stick out of the water surface to breathe in oxygen from the air
Uses air bubble
Examples
Water spider and water beetle
They use the adapted legs, wings or hair bodies to form air bubble that allows them to breath underwater
Has a thin layer of wet skin
Examples
frog and slamender
The soft skin absorbs the dissolved oxygen from the water
Adaption for movement
Animals need to move to look for food, escape from danger and reproduce
overcoming different problems
move more efficiently
Air
Streamline body
Fly through air with little resistance
Flight muscles
Help birds flap their wings
Hollow bones
Reduces the bird body weight to ovecome the force of gravity
Wings
Well developed for moving through air
Feathers
Light and strong so birds can flap them to fly
Water
streamline body shape
Allows them to swim in water with little water resistance
Examples
Whale, Fish and Penguines
Swim bladder
Filled with air to help them stay afloat
Examples
Fish
Modified limps
Fin
Help them remain balance
Examples
1 more item...
Webbed feet
Allow them to propel through water easily
Examples
1 more item...
Flippers
Examples
Seals
Land
Has long and muscular legs which allows them be agile
Examples
Ibex, Kangaroo and horses
To overcome friction
Their sideways movement helps keep them most of their body off the ground making them more agile
Examples
Sidewinder
Adaption in dark environment
Animals that are nocturnal
Some have very good nightvision to see preys in the dark
Examples
Owl
Some use sound to detect object in the dark
