A structural adaptation is the camel's hump. The hump allows the camel to store water and go up to a week without water and up to several months without food. An internal adaptation is the camels body temperature fluctuates/changes . This allows the camel to conserve water by not sweating as the temperature rises throughout the day (because they live in the desert).

to do with actions or activities of an organism.]]> 2018-01-16 13:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221697685 Internal Adaptation dwhite281 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221697901 Adaptations that have to do with internal organs and basic functions.  
Differences in internal adaptations are things that separate organisms in higher levels of classification. For example mammals and reptiles have significantly different internal adaptations (cold blooded vs warm blooded, 
digestive tracts, heart sizes and rates etc)

For example beak shape, fur color and tooth sharpness are all examples of structural adaptations.]]> 2018-01-16 13:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221698052 Ben and Jerry dwhite281 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221853476 Bison

This snake uses its powerful strike, specialized fangs, and deadly venom to paralyze and kill its prey. The Boomslang's fangs lock on contact with skin like a bulldog]]> 2018-01-16 19:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221858870 And Chriso jackson_roybal https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221858967 Our animal is the cat.
Internal Adaptation
Cats eyes have very good photoreceptors that allow it to see in the dark and also uses it to catch prey easier.]]> 2018-01-16 19:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221858967 Pandas: by Katie and Regina kaitlyn_wright1 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221858968 A structural adaptation of the panda is its sixth thumb to grip its food. A panda also has a special digestive system  that helps it digest bamboo which is an internal adaptation.

An internal adaptation is their abdominal venom glands which allows them to ward off predators trying to sneak up on them which means less creatures are going to want to go after the platypus.. A structural adaptation is the three small humps that are visible above the water surface which allows for smooth swimming which helps when getting away from predators in order to survive.]]> 2018-01-16 19:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221858974 McKenna and Maggie mckenna_nava https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221859002 Our organism is a hippopotamus. A structural adaptation is that the ear and nose are located at the top of the head so that they can see and smell underwater. A behavioral adaption is that right before they go underwater they tightly pinch their ears and nostrils in order to make it easier to be emerged.

Fennec Foxes live in the desert. In order to survive the cold weather in the desert, they have a thick layer of tan fur. The tan fur advantages them in such ways as to blend in with their sandy habitat. They have thick fur on the soles of their feet , which insulates against the heat from the desert. Also, their tail acts as insulation, and covers their body for warmth.]]> 2018-01-16 19:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221859119 Dylan and Joshua dylan_myers1 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221859134 Hedgehog
A structural adaptation is that it has sharp spines that help protect it from a predator. Another adaptation is in the hedgehogs behavior, when it feels like it's threatened it curls into a ball, and makes it a spiky ball.

An example of a structural adaptation would be small ears which help to reduce heat loss. An internal adaptation would be a thick layer of blubber that keeps them warm while swimming in cold water.]]> 2018-01-16 19:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221859262 Grant and Corey grant_hull https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221859289 Marlin

The long sword/Bill on these fish helps them to hunt and defend themselves also they're very fast to swim away from predators
Behavioral
They form small groups to capture the weak fish in the bait ball even though they live alone.  ]]> 2018-01-16 19:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221859289 Sarah and Victoria https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221860838 Our organism is a penguin. A structural adaptation is a penguin's wings. They are shaped like flippers to help them move around underwater easier and quicker. They have thick skin and lots of fat called blubber under their skin to keep warm in cold weather. Penguins keep high body temperatures to remain active. Also, they survive cold climates by huddling together in groups to share body heat and minimize thermal loss to winds.]]> 2018-01-16 19:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221860838 elephants:Audrey and Emmanuel audrey_kastner https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221862402 2018-01-16 19:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221862402 Jake Cary https://padlet.com/dwhite281/9qmx15yk9fwo/wish/221889954 Internal Adaptation: Gills
Gills are a part of the respiratory so they let the fish breath but are modified to filter oxygen out of water by letting the water pass through them and sucking the oxygen out of the water and then pushing out the C02.

External Adaptations: Fins
Fins let fish swim by pushing water behind them they are thin and don't have holes so that they are more efficient.
