HOW DO ANIMAL ADAPTATIONS AFFECT THEIR SURVIVAL?

Zaed the great and Abby the awesome

This is going to be about animals from all over the world

and their adaptations.

Why: We chose to learn about animals and their adaptations

because we both love animals.

INTRODUCTION

Because the coral snake has bold patterns, the effect is other animals don’t touch it or eat it. The

coral snake can hurt a person if threatened.

CORAL SNAKE

Because the Pajama Sea Slug shows its real color

when being threatened, the effect is that the pajama

sea slug is protected from predators. The Pajama Sea Slug is our favorite because

he wears pajamas!

PAJAMA SEA SLUG

Because there are blood vessels in the Antelope jackrabbit’s large ears, the effect is that its ears help remove heat from its body.

That helps him keep cool.

THE ANTELOPE JACK RABBIT

Because the killdeer makes its nest in the open, where predators can see it, the effect is that if the young are in

danger the bird will pretend it has a broken wing.

THE KILLDEER

When caught the Regal Horned Lizard may shoot

blood from its lower eyelid as far as 4 feet, the

effect is predators will leave it alone.

THE REGAL HORNED LIZARD

There are different ways that animals adapt to survive, for example the Regal Horned Lizard shoots blood out of its eyelid to protect itself from predators. Without the adaptations and

ways animals protect themselves they would all die.
