Survival in the face of Danger!!!!!
How have plants and animals adapted to
survive the challenges given by Nature?
- If one animal becomes extinct, there is chance
the predators of that animal may die out, or it will have to change its diet.
- The weather can affect organisms, such as
droughts.
- Animals have to adapt to what the environment
gives them to eat.
- Prey animals have special things to defend
themselves against predators.
- Animals like polar bears have special coats to
adapt to the weather.
- Deep-sea animals have bacteria that light up so
they can see prey.
- Predators have special body parts that can help
them get their food.
- Camouflage is used for hunting and hiding.
