Adaptation Activity -8 by Denise White https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy 8th Period en-us 2017-01-05 14:03:36 UTC 2023-07-16 21:59:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rafaelo.png Follow the instructions below. dwhite281 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/145473521 1.  With your partner, research and find one organism (not from Videos) and give an example of at least 2 of the 3 types of adaptations.  

2.  Make a note on this page with your name in the title line and your adaptations identified.  Explain how this adaptation benefits your organism.

3. Include an image or video to go with your example. 

4. You may NOT have the same other class members. 

5. View the unusual adaptations video links :).

to do with actions or activities of an organism.

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.]]> 2017-01-05 14:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/145473526 EXAMPLE dwhite281 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221696789 Our organism is a Camel. 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). ]]> 2018-01-16 13:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221696789 Ben and Jerry dwhite281 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221900622 Buffalo - See the adaptations of a buffalo]]> 2018-01-16 21:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221900622 Qunn & Cater https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902051 Flying Squirrel -  

Structural - Flying Squirrels are able to glide from one tree to another with the aid of a patagium, a furry, parachute-like membrane that stretches from wrist to ankle. This allows them to access places some other animals cant.

Behavioral - Flying squirrels glide from to tree and collect bird eggs, fruit, and nuts from high places which they eat as food.]]> 2018-01-16 21:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902051 Ashmit Trevor https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902342 Anaconda Snake 
internal structure: They can breathe while totally under water.
Behavioral adaptation: They use there strong muscles to wrap around there prays neck. 
Structural Adaption: they stick out there tongs to see the warmth of there pray.

Structural-Pandas have a sixth thumb that allows it to better grasp bamboo for eating. This gives the panda more strength to tear out the bamboo shoots. 
Internal-Pandas have a bigger head than most bears. Their heads need to be bigger because they have bigger jaw muscles so that they they can chew bamboo, which is a very hard plant.

Well developed lungs that allow them to breathe the thin air. Snow leopards have large paws, short forelimbs, long hind-limbs and a long thick tail that allow them to balance in the rocky terrain. They have long fur and a wool undercoat to keep them warm.

This benefits because it helps catch slower prey, with it's excellent eyesight it can catch its prey easily.]]> 2018-01-16 21:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902589 James and Theryn https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902632 Hedgehogs a have a structural adaptation when they curl up in a ball so if the predator tries to take an chunk of sweet hedgehog they get poked with the spines.
When startled the muscle in its back curls it in a ball to protect itself ]]> 2018-01-16 21:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902632 Olivia and Jesseca oliviacoker1 https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902633 Aquatic Turtles-  A structural adaptation would be the turtles hard shell. The shell helps protect the turtle from attacks from predators, and sometimes prey.  

A behavioral structure would be an aquatic turtle traveling many miles back and forth from feeding and nesting grounds, but adult female turtles always coming back to the area where they were hatched. ]]> 2018-01-16 21:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902633 Mollie and Madison mollie_elder https://padlet.com/dwhite281/gttljb094upy/wish/221902680                                      African Forest Elephant
Source:  https://a-z-animals.com/animals/african-forest-elephant/
Fun Fact: Smaller than the African Bush Elephant.
Structural: The elephant uses its tusks to mainly dig up the ground for roots, and for stripping the bark off trees. The elephant also uses its tusks to protect/defend themselves & offspring if any.
Behavioral:  They are able to communicate my sendidng calls that can be heard from kilometers away.

Behavioral Adaptations- The Black Widow's venom bight is 15 times stronger than a rattlesnakes. The neurotoxic venom is an a adaptation that allows the spider to paralyze its prey.

Internal Adaptations- The Black Widow [female] has a very big butt so she can hold all her babies from mating . The average female Black Widow lays about 1,000 eggs.

Structual- The gray wolf has thick wooly fur to provide insulation and long guard hairs to keep out moisture. That allows them not to freeze or get very cold.
Behavrioral-  Wolves are very social animals. They live in groups called packs. A typical pack is lead by an alpha male and female wolf which helps so that one wolf dosen't get singled out by a bigger predator.

The first adaptation of the bear are its sharp claws, this helps the bear survive because with just a couple swipes he/she can kill or injure there prey. Another adaptation of a bear are its teeth. A bears long sharp teeth helps it protect their cubs and eat food.
