First exhibit is Last American Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are reptiles that differ in size and shape.We are also visiting the Partners in Evolution: butterflies.

Pedro -
Dinosaurs. What are they? Well, Paleontologists say they're generally a specific group of reptiles. They were alive 66-68 million years ago, and the closest ancestors we have to them today are birds. We learn about these dinosaurs with fossils, or traces of ancient life. This includes feces, bones, and tracks. Although some dinosaurs are very frightening, with big teeth and large bodies, there were more herbivores in the era than carnivores. If you haven't seen a dinosaur before, you're missing out.
Tyler N -
        Butterflies are one of the bigger insects. They also have the more attractive appeants to themselves. The Chinese Yellow Shallow tail has a more yellow took to itself and located in Asia.The Blue-banded Shallow tail is located in Africa and so is the Emperor Shallow tail. Most of the butterflies are located in Africa and Asia.All Butterflies have different looks,sizes and technices. The
Sheyla per 3- what I learned about mammal hall Africa 2 (high). Is that all the mammal eat meat. Also that they sometime fight and some of them have family. Half of them live in the water and they eat fish. ]]> 2016-10-10 15:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129550200 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129550779 Mammals are types of animals that breathe air like humans. Mammals come in all different shapes and sizes. fossils of mammals have been found that date back to million of years ago. 

Jaylon Brown Period 2.  Not only do they differ in shapes and sizes but they also use different ways to travel, hunt and live. For example predators live by hunting and eating other animals, but scavengers that can't kill their prey wait for something die and eat it or eat the remains of someone else's food 

Leanne Calvillo  Period 3 -
The oldest fossils date back to 600 million years ago. Fossils that date back to this time are considered to be part of the Paleozoic Era. Fossils of living things with hard shells and skeletons were the first discovered. Scientists believe that these hard-shelled animals evolved from simpler less complex creatures. Through fossils we have learned many things about evolving from dinosaurs. They show us about the movement, structure, diets, lives, etc. of the dinosaurs.  

Edmanuel Rodriguez  Period 4-
Coral reefs are complex and fragile ecosystems .Healthy coral contains thousands of fish and invertebrate species found nowhere else on earth .The ocean remains one of the least explored and understood environment on the plant and a frontier for discoveries that could provide important benefits.

The exhibit that we chose to do our report on was the Partners in Evolution: Butterflies. We also examined the Sant Ocean Hall: Coral Reefs.And saw the Mammal Hall:South America.

Nanu Marin.Butterflies and moths weren't always at such a diversity. At one point of time there was only five different species of moths and no trace of a butterfly. Butterflies aren't the only ones that evolved along with plants. Bees and bats did too. Bees use the plants to eat the nectar, brush off access pollen and attract female mates to repopulate. Bats use it to eat the nectar and attract mates. Without the animals, the plants would die due to no transfer of pollen. Meow 
      Christa Goodman- I learned that the reef-building corals grow by depositing story structures of calcium carbonate ( limestone ). The coral reef organisms have envolved unique adaptions to share limited resources and spaces. The species share or divide up the living space. For example, the Hawkfishes and Blennies both perch on the same reef. Some also fiercly guard a small territory. Other animals live in the same place, but are active at different times. 
    Joshua Argueza-I learned that the nearly 65 years ago that rain forests covered most of South America.Today the Amazonian Rain forest survives as the world's largest tropical rain forest.A continuous canopy of ever green trees shades the forest floor.      ]]> 2016-10-10 15:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129550995 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129551292 They miss so many big weird creatures because the ocean in earth biggest habit so it makes it harder to explore there's a lot that they haven't seen.Animal in the ocean water must catch what little food falls above or catch each other.

Jade- i am so sorry for whoever is in this group :/

Concena- I explored The Smithsonian National Museum. I decided to study mammals from Africa. There are lots of cool animals. They have some interesting facts. They come in all shapes and sizes. These mammals have sharp teeth that tear through tendons. A few of animals i saw was a zebra, hyena, lion, hippos and a giraffe. These animals find their own food. These animals are considered wild. I would love to see these mammals in person]]> 2016-10-10 15:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129551292 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129551369 The Museum we are exploring is the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.  The first exhibit 
is the Last American Dinosaurs. This exhibit helps us discover and learn about all the types of dinosaurs and their lives.

Bradyn-
How do we study dinosaurs? We look at fossils. Fossils help us to discover a lot about how they lived, moved, and even how they may have ate. What are dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are a species who were on earth for a very large amount of time. Dinosaurs lived on earth for roughly around 66-68 million years according to paleontologist. Dinosaurs have lived on earth much longer then humans have. The tyrannosaurus ate meat and bone and was also around 40 feet tall.
Valerie Aguirre p.3
what i have learned do to the mammals of the ocean that almost all the sea creatures travel in packs and they also have a security system so if a predator comes for example sardines will make a wall to keep at least some of the fish wont be eaten.
Skye Vantine-p.5
Deep ocean what i learned is that animals in deep water must catch what little food falls from above or catch eachother.The deep ocean is Earth's biggest habitat.There is much never been  seen.Megamouth,a huge shark was accidentally captured in 1976.The deep ocean is really hard to explore.

Partners in evolution butterflies 2 had a ton of amazing butterflies from ones that came from Asia, Arizona, New York and more. The butterfly that caught my eye was the Chinese Yellow Shallowtail from Asia. Most of the exhibits were in cages wrapped around in wire. Every single butterfly had so much information from where they came from and to age. By far this was my favorite part of both museums. It seems like the National History Museum had many places to choose from the mammal exibit, insects, underwater dinsoaurs, human culture, and more. Many butterflies lived up to 100 years and maybe more.  Overall all the many different things the museum had to offer were all amazing.

In this exhibit  I learned that humans have only been around for a sliver of a time compared to the dinosaurs and everything else. I also learned that to become a fossil you need a variety of factors, one of these being luck. Once something becomes fossilized its up to the paleontologists to dig them up

 Today I explored the Insect Zoo at The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. I am viewing the Diplopoda, Crustaced, Insecta, Chilopoda, and Arachnida. In class Diplopoda they are millipedes are athropods with many legs, 2 pairs on most body segments, they have 1 pair of antennae. The Crustaced athropods with 10 or more legs in pairs, and have 2 pairs of antennae.For the Insecta class they are athropods with 6 legs n pair, usually has 1 to 2 pairs of wings. Also, the Chilopoda Class  has a wormlike, flattened body with many segments, has 1 pair of antennae. Lastly, the Arachnida such as spiders, and scorpions with 8 legs in 4 pairs, they have no antennae, usually has 1 to 2 body regions. Today I went to the Smithsonian Museum and learned about all the different classes of insects and what they look like .

Report- Alexis Bryant; 
 I am observing the Mammal Hall Africa 2. There are many different species of animals that live in the savanna in Africa. They include giraffes, hippos, wild hogs, moose, monkeys, antelopes, coyotes, lions, tigers, cougars, cheetahs, and zebras. All the animals get major thirst, living in a dry land, so in order to stay cool, they all go to the same waterhole. when it gets super dry, survival for the many species is critical. In order for species such as hippos to keep cool, they must stay in or near water all day long.

Report-Angel Sanchez
I observed the mammal hall south america north america.There are many diffrent species. The species that i have observed for south america were possums,bats kangaroos, and koalas.I read that there is a species of possums that can glide/fly. I also visited the north america mammal hall also. it had bobcats, moose, snowhares, and also artic fox. All of these mammals from the north america hall all have special adaptations that they had made and special features they use.

Report- Caitlyn Shank
The deep ocean is a home to many mammals and organisms big and small. While exploring the museum I discovered that humans have been discovering new mammals for a long time. For example scientists caught a huge shark in 1976 . However scientists are still discovering new organisms to this day. Recently scientists have discovered new species of squid and jellyfish. Humans can discover new species, but we can also do a lot of damage to some at the same time. As an example, salamon is a very good source for humans but we have harmed them so much there are becoming less and less of them. Coral reefs are home to many fish in the ocean. They can be harmed naturally because they are so fragile, therefore, people dont need to be contributing to their harm and dustrucion.

Conclusion:
The Smithsonian Muse was interesting because of these reasons. The deep sea is full of many animals that are very important to humans, that being the reason, we should try our best to keep it safe keep it safe.

Korea is a divided empire whose culture is very diverse and beautiful. 한글, the alphabetic language, was developed in the 15th century, and was only printed in newspapers in the 1800's. Weddings are very colorful and are overall a beautiful ritual. Before the 20th century, the joining of two families was not known for the love of two people, but rather for only connecting the families. The Joseon dynasty introduced the 한복, as well as other clothing and rituals that were very important in Korean culture and some that are still performed today.

damond aguilar-Deep water fish have adapted to eat food and conserve energy.Food is very scarce.The animals in the deep water ocean also try to eat each other.that is why the have big mouths but small bodies.They evolved into there enviroment.

For millions of years all humans early and modern alike , had to find their own food . they spent a large part of each day gathering plants and hunting animals]]> 2016-10-10 15:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129552020 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129552784 The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History informs you about many historical facts from present and past tense and they also have a pretty legit dinosaur museum. 

Jalen -  Dinosaurs are a were on this earth for a very long time before the when extinct. One of the most unique kind of dinosaurs were the triceratops.They lived from 65 to 70 million years ago.The triceratops skull was so big that it was carried into the museum by a forklift.

Gabby- The Egyptians had a very interesting culture. Once a person died (depending if the person was Rich or Royalty) the person would be wrapped up in the most expensive kind of linen and Stucco. They practiced this so that the body would still be preserved, however they noticed by taking out the organs including the brain the body would last longer. The Tombs would be designed depending on how the dead lived, their personalities and many other factors. If they were Rich or royal when they passes all their slaves would be killed and buries with them. The female and male body have a lot of differences other then one having a vagina or penis. The skulls are different and so is the pelvis. The woman's pelvis is more oval so that the vagina could open up while delivering a baby when a mans pelvis is more circular .

Cassandra- Bones are whitish tissues making up the skeleton in human and other vertebrates. In a average human body there is a total of 206 bones but when we were all born we use to have a total of 300. As growing up during our life time we lose the amount of bones because the bones starting fusing together. Each specific bone in your body have a special "role" for our body like protecting organs or even being a main structure in the body. If any damage is done to any bone it can cause extreme pain.

I found out that the Tyrannosaurus rex was about 40 feet tall which is about 12.3m. It weighed up to 15,000 pounds. They ate only meat and bones. They were alive about 66 to 68 million years ago. Tyrannosauruses only went after live prey for food they did not dare touch already dead things. The Tyrannosaurus is also called a T rex. Almost all T rexes were killed by valcanoes or other animals. the Tyrannosaurus was one of the biggest dino

In one area of the section I observed it shows what kind of animals or insects drink nectar like bees, bats , birds, and etc. It also shows how plants provide nectar for the insects. Butterflies also pollinate all the plants. In the other section of the area it shows that 170 million years ago there were only 5 moth species on earth.  Today we have about 135,000 moth species.

For the virtual project there are a lot of things that i found interesting and also that i observed at the fossil hall of acienr seas 3 exhibite. The first thing that i observed in this are of the museum was the fossil that were under the ocean almost 1500 to 600 million years ago. During this i learna couple of things, like there are a few traces of remaining of some animals and plaints for the fact that that they had soft bodies and some of them couldn't  become of fossile. There was a lot of things that i saw and thought it was in trusting but i thought they were worthy to meation.

The area I observed is the mammal hall north america 1.  There are animals from two different environments which are the wide open plains forests. The exhibits also have animals like the antelope which is the fastest animal in north america and it also has the bison which used to run across the flat lands unopposed. Then there are bears who teach there young to survive early.Most of the habitats of these animals have been changed or altered although all of it has been explored by man.

The section I observed was the Fossil Hall. The exhibit had many many fossils and information about different types of dinosaurs and also the underwater world before the dinosaurs. By observing this hall I learned that the Triceratops have matching leg bones. Also the Hadroaurian Headwear were the skulls of the Duckbills'. They were adorned by strange crests. I really didnt find anything about the T-rex becouse its really hard to zoom in but thats okay I guess. There was also a lot of underworld species but like I said i couldnt really get much information from just zooming in.

In this area I learned about the the human genomes we have in our bodies. I learned that genome has 3 billion part manual written in DNA . Despite its giant size  the genome folds up so small that a copy fits inside all the cells in our bodies.

Dominic Griego- Per 5
In the area I am currently studying I take a look at dinosaurs and how we find out how we identify them. The way we identify them is by looking at fossils and asking questions. As I look farther into the exhibit I can see that there are signs with fossils next to them asking to think how the world would be 66 million years ago which is when dinosaurs existed. The last American dinosaurs would be the Tyrannosaurs. Looking farther you can see that there were a lot of dinosaurs which existed for the American time.

We got the information from the museum located in Washington Dc.

Today I learned about mammals and Africa. As mammals adapted to a changing world, a wondrous  diversity of shapes, sizes, and behaviors evolved. Mammals have hair, milk, and special ear bones. In Africa both predators and prey struggle to survive during Africa's alternating seasons of rain and drought. In the end of a long, hard dry season. The scent of rain is in the air. Animals listen to the rumble of thunder. Lastly, I learned the bigger prey can't really hide, so they have long legs and speed.

The area of the museum I observed is the special Ancient Egypt exhibit. The thing that i found most interesting was the mummification process. First, the Ancient Egyptians removed the brain and organs (except for the heart) and dried them, then stored them in canopic jars. Second, they would dry the body by filling the body with packets of natron, as well as wash the skin and add perfumes and oils. Thirdly, they would wrap the body in linen bandages. Fourthly, they would add magic charms, known as amulets to the mummy's wraps to bring the body good luck, ect. Lastly, at the end of this 70 day ritual, they place the mummy in the coffin ready for burial.  

Timmy McKinney: I observed the last dinosuars in America exhibit on the second floor. I found out triceratops roamed the Earth million of years ago, (60-66 Million to be exact.) Triceratops look spoopy but, they were actually Herbivores!  Tyrannasaurus' also roamed the earth millions of years ago. Their teeth pierced through meat and bones. Overall, I think dinosuars have a very strong past, but are very scary!

Haley Tejeda:I observed the Geology Gems, And minerals on the second floor.I observed on how some crystals dissolve.One main thing that makes it destroy is water, what ever it makes it can destroy.Also under certain temperature and chemical condition minerals can grow and get longer from minerals that are located in water. An look and discovery fact is 2 green elbaite crystal can naturally elched, then you can a pink crystal underneath. The steps on how it grows is the solution that can change composition, then they can supply each other side to side, and finally then can stop growing by dissolving then start to grow again.An Arkansas quartz is a 3 huge slab quartz. They are located at the museum(1940) that is located near Hot Springs,Arkansas. Its a clear colored quartz, can be as big as 400kg(800lbs).

The Triceratops can start anywhere from 6 foot 8. They may also weigh starting from 13,000 up to 22,000 pounds. They also didn't eat other animals or meat so they ate plants.
So today i basically looked at dinosaur facts and fossils. I also seen a few dinosaurs that look similar to animals I see today.
I learned interesting things about these dinosaurs and a little on how they lived.  
        Taylor Davis, I did a the Special Exhibits:Korea 1.Looking into this exhibit i found a lot of things that i didn't know about Korean culture.They had differences on the way they wrote ,and different aspects too.

In the Sant Ocean Hall : Ocean Diversity section of the museum , there is what you would guess sharks , fish , plants, currents , but also things you wouldn't expect to be there are in fact there as well!such as fossils and history of extinct animals. There is a whole section dedicated to ocean fossils contained with things such as eel fossils , plant fossils rocks and more ! Earths earliest life is filled with fossils from all in the ocean, big changes happen through small steps over geologic time , they can trace the path of evolution through earth's rocks and fossils. Oceans food web depends o plankton and jelly fish just so happen to be the butterflies of the sea , as you can see there are a lot of prized possession's and ancient information , the Ocean diversity section in the Smithsonian  Museum is something you'd learn a lot from in a fundamental way ! something you should consider looking into .

Today I examined the start of the human evolution in the Human Origins : Social life exhibit. The human race did not start off into the lives we had today. We are actually part of the ape family, which we have evolved from many centuries ago. We didn't have any technology or common sense like we have today, instead we had primal instincts from our ancestors. Back then we carved wooden sticks and rocks to make tools for every day living and had our own communication through expressions. Finally, we migrated place to place in our communities or organizations like today in our diverse society. My observation on this matter should help many people understand how our race came to be from human evolution.

I observed the African Voices exhibit. In that exhibit African Voices tells about Africans from around the continent. In 1994 South Africans voted in their first multicultural democratic elections. Also something I read was that thousands of africans were killed and jailed for asserting their human rights. Another part of the exhibit mentioned the animals. The number of black rhinos has plummeted from 100,000 in 1960, to 2,400 today. There was a group of people called the Kongo people, a little fact about them is Kongo people who adopted christianity applied key terms from the local religion.

I am observing the sant ocean hall Artic Ocean. I have been finding out information about the species and the climate changes in this envierment. One of the species i have been getting information on is the common white polar bear i have learned that polar bears have a long haunted for seals they are one of their favorite meals. Another species is the walrus these big falby creatures blubber is actually to keep these creatures warm. One more of the creatures i have been learning about is a creature called a Artic Tern these birds are the longest migration bird in the world they migrate pole to pole every year . The climate has been changing to warm making polar ice caps falling into the ocean mealting tons of ice briges ]]> 2016-10-10 16:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129557643 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129557644 Today I took a virtual tour in the Smithsonian museum on The Ancient Seas. By 395 million years ago filter feeders played a major part in sea life. Sea turtles swam the Western Hemisphere during the Cretaceous period. Ammonites appeared in the early Mesozonic Era and began their roles in the sea. That was what i had learned in the virtual tour.

Today I studied the life of Africa and their interesting animals . Something I found interesting was that many various of bats and chimpanzees that accumulated in Africa . I also studied animals in Australia  that were interesting and some of the animals i saw were foxes, wolves  and meerkats .

Today I studied  Korea in the Virtual Smithsonian  museum. Some of the things that appealed to me were the ceramics, clothing and their way of life. They had odd clothing, they had long robe like clothes that cover half the body and saggy pants that went to curved toe shoes. they also wore wrapped hats with a flat top. Another thing I found interesting was the ceramics. The Koreans took pride with there ceramics and loved to make, collect, and display them. The final thing I learned was that their lifestyle was a lot different than ours. There is a border between north and south Korea, there are different leaders, and you are not allowed to go across that border.

Geology:gems and minerals: and space exhibit. The Mammal hall is full of various types of animals. The next exhibit that was explored was Last American Dinosaurs.

The part of the museum that I am exploring at is the Geology:gems and minerals:space exhibit. The first Antarctic meteorites were found by Japanese scientists in 1969. The first meteorites are recognized coming from the moon. The moon originated from hot vapor and debris. The U.S Antarctic search for meteorites falls under the joint of the national science foundation. Most ancient earth craters have been destroyed. 

The mammal hall is filled with various types of animals and their natural habits,  where they live, and how they live in there habitat. Animals that live in the African Savanna and Sahara Desert have many similar and different habits. Several mammals have adaptations that give them basic rules of life and how to survive

     Today I studied the Last American Dinosaurs 1-4. I learned that most dinosaurs lived 66-68 million years ago. A Triceratops was approximately 30ft long and weighed about 6-9 tons. Triceratops were also herbivores. The Tyrannosaurus-Rex were approximately 40ft long and weighed about 7 tons. T-rex's were carnivores. The Smithsonian escavated fossils in Mamoth, North Dakota. The Thylacine, Quagga,and Chinesse RIver Dolphin are some of the listed extincted animals.

It hosts a large amount of animals and plants in the ocean.

It features the north and south pole . Our influence is felt in the arctic. Rising temperatures linked to us is damaging their ecosystem. In the antarctic,  whales, seals, and fish are being over-hunted. The animals of both poles have fur or anti-freeze to stay warm.

Today at the Smithsonian: National Museum of Natural History we went to the Mammal hall : North America. There we discovered/learned about the frozen north.

The mammals that lived in the north faced a long harsh freezing cold winters. There homes became covered in snow. So we asked eachother "How did they survive"? We soon learnd that each of the animals had to learn to cope with trhe cold.

First I visited an area about the coral reefs. Coral reefs are fragile and complex ecosystems. Healthy coral reefs are homes to thousnads of fish and invertebrates. Reef-building corals grow by depositing stony structures of calcium carbonate. 
Next I went to the Arctic ocean and read about polar bears. Polar bears hunt from sea ice but unfortunately, with the ice melting they have less time to hunt. 
In conclusion, I absorbed more information than I intended to, especially when it came to coral reefs.

     I observed the mammals of all    kind.I began my observation with the northern mammals. Northern mammals consist of Artic fox, and Red squirrel and much more.The enviroment that those mammals go through are cold and in order to survive they must adapt to those conditions and have secure shelters.In the other parts of the Northern mammals large animals have to be careful with disguising themselves when it comes to prey.In Africa is the exact difference from the Northern animals.The weather is extremely hot and that makes water a complete neccesity. All theses mammals despite the fact that they have many differences have one common interest. The ability to adapt to their ecosystems

Many marine animals dont stay with their parents. Some dont even meet them.Such as the Larve, they look completley different from their parents.

The first thing I saw was the triceratops. It had a very big bone structure. It had 2 massive horns and a shield looking object on the top of its head. The   T-Rex is the most well known dinosaur as its featured in many movies. It is the biggest carnivore of the dinosaur species. Fossils are the key of our knowledge of dinosaurs. We can replicate what there body's looked like with the bones.

I observed the Human Origins: New tools exhibit. It showed the tools they used and pictures of them.
The tools they used were rocks and sticks. It showed many pictures of them and had the actual tool. They used these tools in many ways, the used them as  tools weapons and tools. They used sticks as weapons, fire wood and as a tool. They used rocks to make fire, to make tools, and many other ways. They also used arrow heads and spears.

I observed this in the Smithsonian National museum, i got to read about different types of Dinosaurs. 
One of the main dinosaurs i observed was the Triceratop, this dinosaur lived about 66 million years ago. It only ate plants, its length was 30 feet and it weighed 13,000 to 22,000 pounds. 
The next dinosaur i observed was the Tyrannosaurus , it was about 66 million-68 million years ago that it was alive. This dinosaur only ate bone and meat, it weighed 15,500 pounds and its length was 40 feet long.
The nest dinosaur i learned about was the dodo birds, or known as lost birds. There were 9 species of these birds. The most of them lived in New Zealand. These birds were highly hunted, this is what killed them.  
I learned many things by searching through this museum. It taught me a lot of interesting facts about dinosaurs that lived over millions of years ago. ]]> 2016-10-10 20:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129635017 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129636652 While observing Human Origins, i noticed that we have evolved greatly over time. Humans have developed to love, care, and have conscious.
The main human species were Homo Sapiens. There was a particular evolving human that was named Lucy, her civilization lasted for more than 900,000 years. Humans have changed body shapes and sizes over time. We all have used tools for various things. By 4 million years, humans were mostly bipedal. By 1.9 million years  we were fully bipedal. The male, Homo Hiedelbergensis lived in a social group that hunted large animals and shared food with each other. Most of our time of social life has fully empowered since the beginning of over 130,000 years ago.

They face long freezing winters, how do they do it? Today I observed the Mammal Hall: Northern America exhibit. I researched the animals that it showed in the exhibit. I studied on how they survive in the freezing snow. Most animals bodies have evolved, like their feet so they could dig in the snow or their fur so they could camouflage. An example of a mammal that lives in North America is the snowshoe hare, they have evolved feet that help them prevent from sinking into the snow when it hops and walks. Their feet also have fur on their soles to protect them from freezing temperature. They also camouflage, their fur turns white during the winter and brown during the summer. Another animal is the Artic Fox, It survives the cold with its deep thick white hair. There are many more animals that live in North America but these are just a few examples and how they adapted to the cold.]]> 2016-10-10 21:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129640321 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129642521 what i now aboute the right whale it is the biggest animal in the ocean. what they eat is somtimes dead and what they eat is also not very big.thier one of the bottom animals swimming animals.It loves being in the deep ocean. things i obsurebed where crabs their in the top part of the ocean.also the right whale geos to the top of the ocean.theos are some things i obsurbed in the ocean  ]]> 2016-10-10 21:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129642521 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129643761 Report-]]> 2016-10-10 21:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129643761 https://padlet.com/jeffrey_mihut/2qnptdu3s6sa/wish/129645362 I am visiting Australia! Australia does not have many large predatory animals. Some animals that call Australia their habitat are foxes, koalas, flying squirrels, and bats. 
Australia has more than 150 species of marsupials, including kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, and much more! Red foxes are common in Australia! They live about 2-4 years and their diet is omnivores. This fascinating continent is the only continent to still have three of the major groups of mammals; monootremes, marsupials, and placetals. It also doesnt have native hoofed animals.
