We studied pond ecology in science class. We learned that all organisms have adaptations. That means that they all have their own thing to help them survive. Here are some examples of prey
adaptations: a Chinchilla, if it gets caught, it sheds all of its fur so the predator chokes. A porcupine has quills so the predator will get poked and hooked by the quills so it will be hurt and not try and eat it again. A walking stick insect has camouflage to blend into the trees. And so on. The predators also have adaptations to help it catch its food. Like the eagle has sharp talons to grip onto its meal. The anteater has claws for breaking into an ants hole. Owls have tufted
feathers that make its flight a silent flight. And so on. What is your favorite prey or predator adaptation?Click here to see a video about adaptations (by Eliza)
One of my favorite predator adaptations is the hydra cause it just sits down chillin then a daphnia comes by and it's like zap zap with its tentacles and eats it whole (Trip)
ReplyDeleteI learned so much very neat! I never knew what happened to a chinchilla when they got caught.
