Box JellyfishBy Jessica Pauls

Environment•Lives in tropical regions•Including Hunama Bay in Hawaii•They eat small sea animals such as shrimp or •plankton

help ward off predators and catch prey

2. They are 95% water which helps them float efficiently in water

3. They drift in big groups which makes them intimidating to predators

Canadian Lynxfound in the broad boreal

forest belt of North America

AdaptationsSharp teeth to catch prey, it only eats the snowshoe hairHuge feet so they can walk on snow/ice and not fall throughVery thick fur to keep them warm because their climate is cold

Chameleons naturally live in the United States, Spain, Africa, or even Asia. Chameleons can live forests and even in deserts.

Some adaptations or structures chameleons have are Zygodactylous feet (two toes in front and two toes in the back), eyes on either side of head, extremely long tongues and males have three horns on their head (some females have less developed horns than males).

Almost all species can change colors to camouflage.Chameleons feet help it climb and move on trees with ease and

long tongues help with grabbing bugs from a distance.

Polar Bear

Where They Live

and rocky points Polar Bears look for tasty seals, and fish

They weigh in as much as a small car, (1000

pounds!)

Their Adaptations

White Coat to be almost invisible in the snow

(Camouflage)Big clawed paws to distribute weight on thin ice, and to whack

a seal out of water from a breathing hole

Fur is hollow hairs which trap air and help to insulate them in

frigid waters

PEREGRINE FALCON

Ecosystem Characteristics

•Lives in a wide variety of habitats from the tropics, desert, maritime to the

tundra•Is found in every continent

except antarctica

Adaptation• Have thin tapered wings

that allow them to fly at speeds of 200 mphand

change directions rapidly• Eyes adjust faster so the falcon can focus on its prey• Has baffles in its nose to prevent air from rushing in

and slowing it down

Pandas Environment Habitat is the forest , Torrential rains or dense

mist though out the year. They live in few mount ranges in central china.

Adaptations Pandas have 6 toe and 6 thumb so they can hold

and tear bamboo This animal uses its powerful jaws and strong

teeth to crush the tough fibrous bamboo. They mostly eat bamboo’s, Pandas consume

about 20-4o ponds of bamboo each day! :0 ( To get all its nutrients

Very high elevations of at least 1880 ft

Very cold (Eastern Canada, Northeastern U.S.)

Adaptationsfleshy tentacles which are covered with touch receptors- Allows them to find food as well as go underwater probing the sediments to seek prey

Long claws- digs tunnels to find insect to eat

water-repellent fur- allows it to go into cold waters without freezingLong thick tail- stores food during breeding season

ToucanEnvironment •Live in the tropics with many fruit •Mostly found is in southern America

Adaptations •Strong beaks to open fruit

•Long beak scares animals away(but it doesn't use it to fight) • Also feathers help it blend in to environment

VINEGAROON (WHIP SCORPION)

Ecosystem • In Logs, under rocks, debris•Humid Environment• Usually in Europe/ Africa, South Eastern US

Information • Non-Venomous • Not a Spider or Scorpion• About 3 inches long

White Shark

Ecosystem•White sharks can

be found in the Atlantic ocean

•Its range is from the surf line to well offshore

zebra

Habitat•Live in southern/east Africa•Woodlands and open plains/grasslands•Dry, hot weather•Main predator is the lion

Adaptations•Stripes, Zebras are black

with white stripes! The stripes are hypothesized to be for blending into grass.•Every sense is very acute, they even have night vision and can move their ears in almost all directions. This helps them hear oncoming predators.•Their digestive systems allow for them to live on lower nutritional quality foods because they are herbivores .
