These birds used to be able to roam around more freely without it being as much of a risk as is now.]]> 2021-03-14 22:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1308250626 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1318105545 The definition of endemic is a plant or animal native and or restricted to one area.]]> 2021-03-16 22:22:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1318105545 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1318111494 The two huge 'supercontinents' are, Gondwana and Laurasia.  Gondwana split into New Zealand, Australia, Africa, South America, Antarctica, the Indian subcontenent and the Arabian Peninsula.

Our ancestors from a few thousand years ago would have looked quite similar to us. They would have had arms, legs, brain and even body similar to ours. But many years before that humans would look like a monkey. These changes happen over many years, like thousands or even millions of years. Every species in this world has had to adjust in some form or way.]]> 2021-03-25 18:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354401066 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354418050 An adaptation is like a feature or quality that an animal or species has that allows it to survive in that environment.

Since there was a lack of mammals the tuatara could thrive much easier. Since this threat wasn't there they didn't really need to change very much. ]]> 2021-03-25 18:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354506947 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354534509 2021-03-25 18:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354534509 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354544714 The Kiwi adapted to New Zealand's unique conditions because  there wasn't any ground-based predators meaning they could spend more time on the forest floors looking for worms and insects.  And since it didn't need to use it's wings as often it developed a long beak, big body, and strong legs.  This now making it flightless like many other New Zealand natives.]]> 2021-03-25 18:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354544714 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354585270 2021-03-25 19:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354585270 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354601224 2021-03-25 19:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354601224 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354602197 2021-03-25 19:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354602197 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354608224 2021-03-25 19:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354608224 gthwaites https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354617587 2021-03-25 19:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gthwaites/w0d9uu5q2f6w/wish/1354617587
