The Thorny Devil has multiple adaptations that allow it to survive in the deserts of Australia. An interesting adaptation is the method by which this lizard stores, captures, and drinks water. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158185689 2017-03-06 21:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158185689 2. The spikes on the lizard act as sponge-like tools that collect and store water for the lizard. All points have formed so that when they capture water, it will trickle to the lizards mouth. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158185993 2017-03-06 21:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158185993 3. Between each scale is a hinge joint that allows the lizard to collect water and transport it to the back of its mouth through a tubular system under its skin. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158191173 2017-03-06 22:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158191173 4. Humans have often faced the same problems of the lizard- beating the heat. Whether its been a camping trip, a hike through the rain forest, or possibly even getting stranded with limited water supplies; I'm sure all involved would have liked access to more water. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158208861 2017-03-07 00:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158208861 5. We know that much like the spikes, sponges are capable of soaking up/storing vast amounts of water. Therefore, a "Sponge Suit" for humans has been created. Not only will the suit allow humans the ability to take in water as they move, touching different plants, but the sponge will also soak in the dew from the night air. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158209058 2017-03-07 00:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158209058 6. The suit could also ward off predators or bigger animals and not to mention, the suit looks pretty cool. It could be efficient and a new fashion statement. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158209256 2017-03-07 00:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158209256 7. Three different modeled prototypes have been brainstormed/drawn out. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158209410 2017-03-07 00:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158209410 daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158211460 9.Adaptations were made to the original prototype. The sponges were cut so that they could rest above the shirt. However, it was noted that there still was no method of getting the water to the wearer's mouth.]]> 2017-03-07 01:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158211460 daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158211569 10. This is a hand-drawn version of the final protocol. To the right is a picture of the actual 3-D model. ]]> 2017-03-07 01:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158211569 daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220040 8. The original prototype was drawn with eight sponges simply attached to a shirt, in thinking that after collecting water, the person wearing the Sponge Suit, could just remove and squeeze the sponge in his/her mouth, then reattach. ]]> 2017-03-07 02:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220040 daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220317 2017-03-07 02:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220317 daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220725 2017-03-07 02:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220725 The prototype works by allowing the sponges to do their natural job. Depending on the situation that a person might wear the Sponge Suit in, (hiking, fishing, traveling through the desert, or just to have in a first aid kit), the sponge suit allows a person to move freely all the while, the sponges are absorbing the water from the environment. It has the possibility of rubbing against wet brush and plants, collecting their water, the ability to collect rain fall, soak up dew as it sets at night, or even just to be used to store water for later if you know it may come in handy. daniellestinson1 https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220841 2017-03-07 02:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/daniellestinson1/9zzkpk5fzwah/wish/158220841
