COTSWOLD WILDLIFE PARK RESEARCH HABITATS, ADAPTATION AND CONSERVATION BY HARRIET, ANYA & LAIBA!
WHAT IS A HABITAT? • A habitat is the type of environment that a specific animal specie are adapted to and live in. • For example: a shark lives in the sea
WHAT IS ADAPTATION? • Most organisms have adapted to live in a specific environment e.g. a desert or the sea.
HOW DO ORGANISMS ADAPT TO THEIR ENVIROMENT? • Organisms over time will change to suit the area around them. • They will develop extra tools in their body to help them survive in their habitat. • One example is a camel. As they live in sandy deserts they have adapted to cope with conditions which they experience. They have extremely long eyelashes and three eyelids to prevent sand getting into their eyes. They have a large hump which they use to store water as in the desert water is EXTREMELY limited. They also have long legs to keep the body out of scorching hot sand.
How do Cotswold Wildlife Park conserve their animals? • They take part in a breeding programme where they breed the endangered animals then when they are old enough they release them this programme is called EEP. • They do EEP with their Lar Gibbons especially.
