TROPIQUATICA Biome. Conditions and Features . I imagined that this biome would look like a very dense jungle that is immediately met by water at the edge of it. It would look like an island with a huge jungle surrounded by ocean all around it. Swampy; marshy.

StructuralAdaptations Physiological Adaptations Behavioral Adaptations One physiological adaptation for the toucan is having wings to fly. killer whale - respiratory system(blowhole) Monkey orchid-mimic monkeys Flagellates-can be parasitic Amoeba-can become dormant in environments that are potentially lethal to the cell For the toucan, one structural adaptation is it’s beak. killer whale -they have a tail to swim Monkey orchid-the face-like features in the orchid Flagellates-flagella(tail) Amoeba-has psuedopods (arm like organelles) One behavioral adaptation of the toucan is being able to fly. Killer whales- able to swim Monkey orchid-camouflage to hide Flagellates-move quickly Amoeba-osmoregulation (contracting water in to a large vacuole called a contractile vacuole)
