Going back to my habitat corridor project where I researched the Roosevelt Elk, one adaptation that they have are their antlers. Antlers serve many roles such as for defense, but the elk specifically use them mostly for mating. During mating season, male elk spar with each other over the right for female elk and the antlers are a show of an elk's health and abilities.

The snails shell protects its organs and it's soft body from being killed when stepped on. Snails breathe air, so their shell protects their lungs from being crushed on impact.

The blue eyed Darner dragon fly is apart of the Aeshnidae family, they are commonly found in Western Oregon and eat other fling insects. They are about 2.6-2.8 inches long, males tend to hunt just above water, while females plant eggs among dense emergent water plants.

The rat's dark fur color helps it hid from preditors espessaly when you live next to five nature parks with a dark brush which help it blend into it's suroundings when wandering the forest floor. The rat would die without it's dark fur color making it an easy target for preditors and humans to see either eating it or screaming and running scaring the rat. (this rat was a dark brown dirt color hard to see in the picture but my sister took it i'm just using it so credit my sister for the pic not me)

Many robins are often found standing on the ground. This makes them closer to the ground in order to find worms and other insects that take residence there.
Along with staying low to the ground, they form groups to attack predators. This helps them to become less of a target and fight back when prey (such as blue jays and snakes) come near.

A way that Douglas Firs adapt to their environment, which is moist, is buy not having traditional leaves, but instead growing needles, this adaptations allows for the tree to better conserve its energy. This is because needles take up less surface area compared to traditional leaves. Allowing for them spread their energy gathered to more areas of the tree.

I found a bright and beautiful butterfly yesterday. She has bright colors that could be used to scare off predators by making them think she is dangerous. She turned out o be wounded so I started taking care of her and she is doing much better today:)

I saw a rolly polly, and it's hard shell allows it to curl up into a ball as a defense mechanism. This helps when it is being attacked by it's predators. Without this adaptation, rolly pollies would struggle to defend themselves at all.

The sword fern's use of spores instead of seeds to reproduce allows its potential offspring are contained within a smaller unit and can more easily be carried on the wind and spread. This means that the sword fern can spread across large areas faster and more consistently than if it had seeds.

They adapt in many ways. One being their beak depth, which is correlated with body size and the ability to crack larger seeds. This varies according to weather conditions, unhealthy/dry plants will produce harder seeds. Only larger birds with deeper beaks survive in hot weather/dry plants. A common finch within Oregon is the House finch.

the praying mantis' green color allows it to camouflage into its surroundings (ex. plant leaves).  This means it can hide from its predators and its prey - leaving it more likely to eat, and less likely to be eaten!  Praying mantises without this adaptation would either die of starvation or be preyed upon, reducing their chances of having offspring of their own.
