• How do adaptations help animals survive in their environment?
• How can I observe the changes in the world?• How can I interact with a changing world?

The Philadelphia Zoo/Aquarium called…
and they need your help to make a new animal exhibit! You will research an animal that lives in a desert, forest, or ocean habitat. You need to gather information to help them complete the exhibit.

1. Describe the animal’s habitat.2. How does the animal meet its basic
needs within its habitat?3. How do the adaptations of the
animal’s body help it to survive?4. What are the animal’s natural

the animal?

Habitat• Grasslands of Africa• Largest population in Africa in the country
Namibia• Open spaces• Near mountains• Fields with tall grasses• Small trees (to hide behind)• Trees to climb• How it meets its basic needs- hunts and
eats rabbits, game birds, antelope, zebra, hares and wildebeest; naps in trees

Adaptations(What does the animal do/have to survive in its habitat?)
• Camouflage- pattern of black spots; hide
• Long, strong legs and long flexible back to help it run
• Claws that act like spikes to help it run fast
• Two black stripes on face to shade eyes from sun

Do Humans Hurt?• Poachers kill cheetahs to sell fur,
claws, and teeth• Farmers kill them because they eat
their cattle• More and more large areas being
turned into farmland- NO PREY!
