Their beak is dominant because all flamingos have it in order to survive.]]> 2019-05-23 14:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/362942655 Habitat sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363019171 These flamingo's are found in the lagoons, mudflats and lakes of the Caribbean, the Yucatan Peninsula and the Galapagos Islands. they are mainly located in shallow tropical waters so they can get their food. in the map you will see where the flamingos mainly live.]]> 2019-05-23 17:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363019171 Adaptations sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363019964 - Flamingos breath air so they can not hold their breath that long so shallow water would be best to catch food.
- Their webbed feet allow for them be able to walk through the mud and not sink. 
- flamingos long legs are very helpful to them because it helps them get away from predators like crocodiles.
- Their long legs also help them stand in deeper waters 
- Their curved beak helps them filter out the food they do not want]]> 2019-05-23 17:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363019964 Description sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363264703 -Caribbean flamingos are around 42 inches tall

The flamingos that are well adapted to the environment will survive. If a species have characteristics for a certain environment they will succeed in that certain environment. otherwise they will fail and die in other environments.]]> 2019-05-24 13:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363280691 Poor characteristics sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363349853 -Short legs make them run slower when their running away from predators
-Short neck will prevent them from reaching food in deeper waters
-Flat beak will not filter their food when they catch it
-No webbed feet will cause them to sink in the mud and not be able to swim
-No wings means they can’t migrate ]]> 2019-05-24 17:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/363349853 Lesser Flamingo sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365364182 Kingdom: Animalia

Description
The lesser flamingo is a tall, large bodied bird with a long neck and small head. Most flamingos, including this species, have pale pink plumage, legs, and bills. The lesser flamingo is one of the smallest and the brightest of the flamingos.]]> 2019-06-04 13:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365582469 Distribution sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365583519 Located on the Andean plateaus of Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina. They live in salty lakes with soft substrate and relatively sparse vegetation.
Description
They are a pale pink color with some black feathers on their wings and bright crimson streaks around their necks and on their backs. They also have long legs and a long neck just like he other flamingos.]]> 2019-06-04 13:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365583519 Same Characteristics https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365644814 2019-06-04 17:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365644814 Differences https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365648653 The difference in color of their feathers depends on what their eating. Alpha and beta carotenoid pigments is what makes them pink, it depends how much they each that determines their color.]]> 2019-06-04 17:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365648653 Galapagos Hawk sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365909545 Kingdom: Animalia

They have brown feathers with a grey-barred tail. Their beak is greyish-black and their legs and feet are yellow. The females are larger than males.
Location
They are mainly located around the lakes in the Galapagos]]> 2019-06-05 17:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365913282 Similarities sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365917964 2019-06-05 17:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365917964 Natural selection sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365993798 Most animals in the same environment adapt to the same sort of lifestyle. This is because of their resources around them and also the other animals in that environment. Natural selection is based on survival between the prey and predators and the limited resources. ]]> 2019-06-06 01:28:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365993798 Natural selection summary sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365995110 Natural selection is when organisms need to adapt based on their surroundings. Things that they should look out for would be predators and also how limited their food and water supplies are. Later on the species evolved and become better fit for their environment and survive much better then before. ]]> 2019-06-06 01:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365995110 Factors sm444 https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365996338 Their are multiple factors of natural selection that are very important to the species survival. If the flamingos have many predators in that area they will not survive and have a major decrease in their population. If the enivironment is highly populated with the flamingos the food supply will be very limited. Throughout many generations of the flamingos evolving they had to learn to adapt to their environment like for instance their curved beaks are for helping them get the food they need and to filter out all the stuff they don’t need. If they had flat beaks they would have a hard time trying to get their food so they would have to adapt. ]]> 2019-06-06 01:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sm444/t8p26zpgf2fc/wish/365996338
