~Adaptations~ Protective coloration Migration Behaviour Structural Hibernation Camouflage Mimicry Go back to the place they were born Safer place to live, raise young Social To look, sound, or act like another animal to fool predators into thinking it is poisonous or dangerous Movement Protection Teeth Body Covering Deep sleep in which animal’s body temp droops, body activities are slowed to conserve energy. For better Food,climate
~Animal 1:Rabbits~ • Wild rabbits live in thickets, forests, woods and meadows.Rabbits like locations that have a moderate climate.
Adaptations • Long ears - Helps the rabbit have very strong hearing to listen out for nearby predators. • Eyes on the sides of their heads - Helps them see almost 360 degrees around them and be on the lookout for possible predators. • Strong Hind Legs - Helps a rabbit hop at a very fast rate when they are at risk by predators.
Camouflage • Wild rabbits in countries like England are camouflaged in various shades of brown to help them blend in with woodland surroundings. Rabbits in Arctic Regions and other areas with Arctic climates are white in the winter to help blend in with the snow, and in summer and autumn they turn a shade of brown/red to help them blend in with scrubby woodlands. This helps protect them against predators like the Arctic Fox.
Animal 2:Camels • Camels live in deserts and are mostly found in Egypt. • The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. Most camels live there.
Types of Camels • There are two types of camels in the world: the Bactrian and Arabian. • The Bactrian camel has two humps and is found in the deserts of eastern and northern Asia, specifically the Gobi. • The Arabian, as its name suggests, is found in Arabian deserts, and is the one hump variety. Few of these animals of either variety are found in the wild any longer. A small group of them were imported to the deserts of the American southwest, and a herd remains there today, semiwild.
Adaptations • Humps-Stores fat, which metabolises for energy. This enables the camel to go without food and water for a long period of time. The hump does not store water.When they do access water, they can drink up to 46 litres of water in one session. • 2 rows of long eyelashes-Help protect them against the desert sand. • Hair lining the inside of their ears-To protect their ears from the sand. • Long and strong legs,foot that are split hooves with broad pads which splay out over the desert sand-For more stability, preventing them from sinking into the sand.
Thick and leathery knees-Do not get burnt by the hot sand when they kneel. Thick fur and underwool-Acts as insulation against both the hot desert days and the cold nights. Lips that are thick and leathery-Enables them to eat prickly desert plants without it hurting their mouths. The colour of their bodies helps them to blend into their environment. Camouflage
