Survival

    In the video that we watched in class, I learned that animals make certain adaptations to help them survive in a sometimes difficult-to-survive-in environment, some frogs can freeze themselves to hibernate through the winter.



In this video, although it is aimed at younger students, it shows that all animals make adaptations. For example, a turtles, feet are webbed to help push him through the water. Other adaptations that animals make that I got from out class video included using bright color's on a frog's body to indicate poison in its body, and using camouflage to hide oneself from a predator. Another adaptation is drinking water from fog in areas where there are no lakes, seas or rivers.

What did I learn?
I learned that when an environment that an organisms lives in isn't ideal, over a long time the organisms can adapt itself of the environment to mike life more livable.
What was interesting?
I found it interesting how complex and clever the adaptations can be. For example, the snapper turtle has a tongue that looks like a worm to lure food into its mouth. I wouldn't have thought of that.
