Ecosystem Adaptations Period 5 by Zahira Rose https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue Add your animal and plant information under the correct ecosystem . en-us 2022-04-19 14:58:12 UTC 2025-06-10 18:28:12 UTC hello@padlet.com This Kangaroo Rat is easier for me because, it is an animal that lives in the desert, which has lived in the desert for many years. It is also an animal that doesn't need much that other animals may need. https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149240048 * Kangaroo Rats can survive and have survived for many years and lived normal lives throughout their life spans.
* Conditions in the desert are very similar to our natural lives and how live in these areas
* The only big difference is the heat and the lack of water and important essential items, such as rain or snow
*Does not need much water, and only really eats basic items, like seeds and some grass.]]> 2022-04-19 20:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149240048 Fennec Fox https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149240638 -They have large ears that help regulate high temperatures 
-They have thick fur on under their paws which offer protection from the extreme heat of the sand]]> 2022-04-19 20:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149240638 Dolphins Have blowholes at the top of their head, which allows them to easily take in air, then go on swimming. They also have pectorall flippers and long slender bodies, which helps them steer and stop when needed to. https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149241873 2022-04-19 20:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149241873 Starfish https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149243561 Starfish
I chose this because it seems fairly easy to explain how the starfish lives the way it does. It will be pretty simple for me to explain how the starfish lives. The starfish has a protective shell, and the ability to regenerate its limbs.]]> 2022-04-19 20:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149243561 me https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149244528 2022-04-19 20:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149244528 Barrel Cactus https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149244658 -Large spikes protect the plant from large, thirsty, desert creatures
-Thick 'stems' to store water]]> 2022-04-19 20:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149244658 clownfish https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149246664 The clownfish has made many adaptations in order to survive better in its habitat. First, this particular species has more rounded caudal fins than other anemonefish, making it a naturally slow, less effective swimmer. These fins, however, enable the fish to make quick darting movements.]]> 2022-04-19 20:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149246664 Great White Shark https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149248951 1. The Great White Shark has a white underside on its body. This helps it blend in when viewing the underside of the shark because when looking up underwater all you see is white because of the sunlight. This means it can blend in to catch food by surprise.
2. All sharks have a torpedo shaped body but the great white has a more symmetrical body and stiffer fins. This helps it move efficiently and quick through the water to catch food.]]> 2022-04-19 20:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149248951 Cactus https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149249528 The adaptations of a cactus are shallow roots and spines. the shallow roots help the cactus survive by absorbing lots of water easier when it rains. spines help it survive by protecting it from predators.]]> 2022-04-19 20:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149249528 leilani wants artic https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149250194 2022-04-19 20:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149250194 Bighorn Sheep https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149250288 -horns weigh around to 14 kg

-thick layers of fat and fur for insulation against the cold
-a small surface area to volume ratio to minimize heat loss
-a greasy coat that sheds water after swimming to help reduce heat loss
-large feet to distribute their load and increase grip on the ice

These are similar to leaves, but they are divided into more sections than leaves. This is helpful for seaweeds because it gives them more surface area to gather sunlight and produce food. Fronds of seaweeds are very tough, and this is helpful for the plant's survival.]]> 2022-04-19 20:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149251998 Ocean https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149252015 2022-04-19 20:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149252015 Bob cats https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149252453 Adaptions for plants 
1- thick and waxy skin and loss of water
2- deep roots to go to the ground 

Adaptations for animals 
1- closed nostrils to keep sand and dust out
2- they can go without water for a week

Information about the two adaptations 
1- The plants are important they need less water because of the drouting issue so they need to survive with minimal water 
2- the animals have closed nostrils because of all the sand and this is because some animals can get really sick if they digest sand or it will hurt the animals nose ]]> 2022-04-19 20:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149252453 Death Stalker scorpion https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149255467 Two adaptations of a death stalker scorpion are it's flexible diet and prey absorption. prey absorption is when the scorpion absorbs the water from it's prey.

- They have a deep layer stomata
- Thick and expandable stem
Adaptations for animal
- They have flat feet to spread their weight on the sand.
- Thin fur to allow easy heat loss.
Information:
With the cactus the camel can eat it and get water from it as well. The cactus have haord moisture in it so they have water during droughts.]]> 2022-04-19 20:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149257103 leilanileilani i call dibs on artic nose goes leilanibautista https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149259520 2022-04-19 20:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zrose10/laxss40emxyvsrue/wish/2149259520
