But it can also live in the desert. Its most commonly found in dense shrubby areas in the forest.]]> 2018-12-17 18:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315304247 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315306614 2018-12-17 19:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315306614 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315306955 2018-12-17 19:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315306955 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315698244 It mostly likes to live in dense, shrubby ares, like forests or jungles, but they can also be found in places like the desert.]]> 2018-12-18 20:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315698244 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315698844 The main thing it competes for is food, but it also competes for water, shelter, and space. Its main competition is other cardinals, but it also competes with spiders for bugs, and insects. ]]> 2018-12-18 20:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315698844 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315700272 Its mostly prey, it only really eats bugs and nothing else. Its main predators are a type of hawk call the cooper hawk.]]> 2018-12-18 20:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315700272 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315701013 It has a commensalismic relationship with spiders. They compete for bugs, and since there's so many bugs it doesn't really effect either one if one of them gets to the food first. It kind of hurts its survival based off of the fact that it has to find food elsewhere.]]> 2018-12-18 20:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315701013 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315701870 The Cardinal doesn't really mind any of the places it can live in. It can live in the scorching hot desert, or a suburban street light. This helps it because it can live in almost any environment as long as there's a food resource.]]> 2018-12-18 20:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315701870 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315702411 Its beak is its main structural adaption. Its beak allows it to break open seeds and get the nutritious food inside. This makes it to where the Cardinal has an almost infinite food source.]]> 2018-12-18 20:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315702411 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315703101 The Cardinal's body temperature really depends on the outside temperature, so its an ectotherm. They have a rapid respiration rate to keep them cool during hot periods of time. They don't really have a fall back on lack of water since they're always around it. ]]> 2018-12-18 20:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315703101 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315703928 When it gets extremely cold, or hot, they migrate to somewhere warmer, or colder. This helps them because they wont overheat, or freeze to death.]]> 2018-12-18 20:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315703928 wcl3409 https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315704203 Cardinals are nocturnal, so they sleep during the night. This is both good and bad for them. Its good because a lot of their food come out during the day, but so do their predators.]]> 2018-12-18 20:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wcl3409/ruag2oirkjtu/wish/315704203
