  • Yes, in the turtle pond, this is located in a sunny area however it has ponds of water and plants that are big enough to shade it. The organisms present are chaguaramo , manila palms, cycas revoluta , chelonoidis carbonarius,podocnemis unifilis, ants, bacteria, etc.

  • chelonoidis carbonarius and podocnemis unifilis

  • chelonoidis carbonarius: herbivore, heterotrophs, they eat fallen fruits, flowers and leaves

    podocnemis unifilis: Omnivore, heterotroph, they eat, aquatic plants, seeds and sometimes small fish or insects.

  • Manila palm( producer)( autotroph )-> chelonoidis carbonarius( consumer )( heterotroph)

    algae/ water plant( producer )( autotroph )-> podocnemis unifilis( cosnumer )( heterotroph)

  • chelonoidis carbonarius: their strong shell acts as a suit of armor to protect them, it also helps them regulate their body temperature by absorbing heat from the sun.

    podocnemis unifilis: their scaly legs are built for walking long distance, and their scales help protect their skin from sharp throbs or rocks on the ground.

    2: The section next to the astroturf’d courtyard

    3: Quiscalus lugubris & Iguana iguana

    4: The Quiscalus lugubris are secondary consumers and detrivores. Iguanas iguanas are primary consumers.

    5: Leaves>Caterpillar>Quiscalus lugubris>Cats>Black vultures


    Leaves>Iguana>Cat>Bactera


    6: Quiscalus lugubris use their intelligence to survive in human made habitats, they also use calls to signal when they want to group up and attack larger predators


    Iguanas iguanas have sharp tails to whip predators. They can also detach their tails if grabbed by it

    Yes there is a community in a man made pond type environment with animals like Chelonoidis carbonarius, Trachemys callirostris, Corvus, and adonidia merrillii.


    Chelonoidis carbonarius, Trachemys callirostris


    The Chelonoidis carbonarius is omnívoros and the same goes for Trachemys callirostris


    1. The producer are the mango trees which drops mangos that the Chelonoidis carbonarius eats when the turtle dies the decomposers break it down


    1. The producer are the algae in the water that is eaten by the Trachemys callirostris and when it dies decomposes break down their body




    Chelonoidis carbonarius



    • Hard domed shell → protects it from predators.

    • Strong, thick legs with claws → help it walk on land and dig in soil or leaf litter.




    Trachemys callirostris



    • Webbed feet → help it swim efficiently in water.

    • Ability to bask in the sun → helps regulate body temperature and maintain metabolism.
