Survival in the face of Danger!!!!!
How have plants and animals adapted to
survive the challenges given by Nature?
Where will we learn some answers? Become an Estuary Explorer at the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve
We know...- 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.
Questions we have.
- How can the environment make extinction happen?
- What will we see?
- What are a diversity of habitats including Vernal pools, Riparian, Salt marsh, Coastal sage scrub, and Mudflats?
- Watershed
- What is a wetland?
- Migration
- Estuary
- Brackish Water
- Invertebrate Plankton Ichthyoplankton
