Adaptation of cockroaches1)The cockroach can survive for a week without its head.
The cockroaches brain is scattered along the ventral (belly-side) part of its body that if you cut off the head of a cockroach, it will still live for as long as one week; eventually dying from starvation or thirst. 2)A cockroach can survive without its heartA cockroach has a heart shaped like a tube. Its heart can even stop without the cockroach dying.
Fox Adaptation
Adaptation: Changes Fur Colour.
• Function:Arctic foxes change from white, beige or light gray in the winter to brown, tan or black in the summer. This helps camoflauge them to protect them from predators and help them sneak up on their pray. Their winter coat also protects them from the cold so they can survive temperatures of -100.
Bearberry Adaptations
Adaptation: low growing
Function: It can stay out of the wind chill.
Adaptation: Hold on to their old leavesFunction: to keep themselves warmer and hold moisture
Bearberry adaptations
Bearberry is a low growing
evergreen. It has a stem that
rises 2-8" off the ground
and is covered in a thick
bark.
Adaption:
Functions:
To prevent dehydration.
Adaption:
Bearberry’s fine silky
hairs .
Functions:
To keep it warm against
cold weathers.
The Adaptations of the cactus is : • A swollen Stem : To store water xD• Covered In Thorns : Helps protect it from animals to eat it (: • Being Greyish or Silver in colour : To reflect heat of the sun and to reduce water loss :3
Dessert tortoise’s Adaptation
Adaptation : obtain water from diet
Function : Do not have to drink water for a
long time
Adaptation : Burrows itself under the sand
Function : protect from extreme dessert
temperature
GIANT PACIFIC Octopus
• Adaptation: Suckers
• Function: Octopus’s sense of
• touch and sense of taste.
•
• Skin: It can quickly change its
• skin colour quickly making its
• predators (harbor seals, sperm
• whales and sea otters) have
• difficulty spotting it.
Owl Adaptation
Adaptation : Sharp TalonsFunction : Catching prey on the fly
Adaptation : Large eyes set forward on the head
Function : Gives great depth perception for hunting plus retinas of their eyes are packed with low light sensitive rods to see at night
Gorilla Adaptation
Opposable thumbs
enables their hands to
effectively grip objects
and manipulate
them, allowing them to
make tools,
Long Arms to climb easily
Thin fur to keep
cool
Money Plants Adaptations
Adaptation: Water-drip leaves.
Function: The rainwater will drop
faster.
Adaptation: Weak stems.
Function: The use of weak stems
is to climb onto walls, bamboo
poles, etc.
KittenAdaptation: four
soft paws
Function: so that
when they jump down from building , they wont die
Adaptation: flexible
spine
Function: this enables
them to use more muscles when they run
Panda Adaptations
Adaptation: Have a sixth toe and thumb
Function: So that it can grip bamboo and tear the
leaves off the stem.
Adaptation: It has strong and smooth molars Function: It helps them chew rough bamboo.
Penguin AdaptationsAdaptaion : Their flipper shaped wings and streamlined body help them to swim underwater at speeds up to 15 m.
Function : To help them escape from predators and to catch prey.
Adaptation : They have black and white countershading.
Function : It makes them nearly invisible to their predators.
Adaptation : They have a lot of feathers: 70 feathers per square inch.
Dolphin Adaptation
Adaptation : Have
blubber (fats) in their body.
Function : To help the
dolphin stay warm in cold
water.
Penguins are designed for life in the sea. Some species spend as much as 75% of their lives in the water. (They lay their eggs and to raise their chicks on land.) Heavy, solid bones act like a diver's weight belt, allowing them to stay underwater. Their wings, shaped like flippers, help them "fly" underwater at speeds up to 15 mph. A streamlined body, paddle-like feet, insulating blubber, and watertight feathers all add to their efficiency and comfort underwater. They also have a remarkable deep-diving ability.
In addition to blubber for insulating warmth, penguins have stiff, tightly packed feathers (up to 70 per sq. in.) that overlap to provide waterproofing. They coat their feathers with oil from a gland near the tail to increase impermeability. Black and white countershading makes them nearly invisible to predators from above and below.
Penguin adaptation
Elephant
Viperfish Adaptation
• Adaptation: Enlarged eyes
• Function: Gather As much light
as possible.
Adaptation: Deadly Jaws
Function: To ensure that the
Prey they capture in will not
escape.
Puppy Adaptation
Function: Humidification And Warming Of Air Before It Enters The Body
Adaptation: Triangular Shaped Nose
Adaptation: Fluffy Colorful (?) Fur
Function: Fur Is One Of Dog’s Largest Sensory Organ, Monitoring The Environment And Influencing Body Temperature.
Iberian lynx Adaptation
Adaptation:Long Ears
Function: Have keen sense of hearing to watch out for predators.
Adaptation:Sharp EyesFunction:The eyes of the Lynx have circular pupils, which have an optimum area of focus for an animal which is both predator and prey.
Hawk Adaptation <3
Adaptation:
Sharp and strong talons.
Function:
Dig them into the flesh of their prey
to kill them instantly.
Adaptation:
Hooked beaks
Function:
Rip the flesh of their prey.
I am the awesome hawk which YS chose for this project:D
