Adaptations of elephant and tiger

Big Ears

When the Elephant flaps itsears, the Elephant will keepcool

Tusks

Helps the Elephant dig andfight

Long TrunkTo pick up water and pour overto keep cool

Long LegsTo help balance the weight ofthe elephants body

One adaptation is thatthe tiger's stripes helpit blend in with thelong grasses of the

tiger's habitat.Another adaptation isthat the tiger enjoysthe water. This helpsthem cool off on a hot

day. Their thick coatkeeps them warm inthe winter season.

Adaptations of epiphytes and stangler

They grow on trees totake advantage of thesunlight in the

canopy. Most areorchids, bromeliads,ferns andPhilodendron

relatives.

The strangler fig tree have manyadaptations one being that thestrangler figs start their lives offas epiphytes, plants that do notroot in the soil in their first

stages of life, as at the groundlevel of the rainforest there islittle light and a huge amount ofcompetition for water andnutrients meaning that the

majority of plants that start offon the ground have to adapt ordie. The strangler fig hasadapted by using other trees toget itself into the canopy whereit is lighter.

Adaptations of a camel and hyena

Camels have a number ofadaptations which helpthem survive in their desertenvironment.

The most obvious is thatcamels have a hump (or twoif they are Bactrian camels)which stores fat, whichmetabolises for energy. Thisenables the camel to gowithout food and water fora long period of time. Thehump doesnot store water.

When they do access water,the can drin u to 46

-The Hyenacommunicates usinga high pitch scream

that is too high forhumans to hear. -TheHyena has verystrong jaws, whichcan crush bones oreven tusks. - Hyenashave long tongues, tolick bark off of trees,to eat ants.

Adaptations of cactus and popcorn

flower Waxy leaves, long roots,

most have needlesThe adaptations of thecactus includes small and

spiky leaves that reduceevaporation of water. Italso prevents loss of water.The cactus has also a thickand juicy stem that stores

water. It carries outphotosynthesis like anyother normal green plant.

Adaptations of a dolphin and turtle

A dolphins long nosehelps them kill sharks.

A fish's back fin goes sideto side. A dolphins tail

goes up and down to help itdive up to get air.

Dolphins need to saveoxygen while they diveunderwater. To do this,their bodies adapt in severalways. Their heart beatsslower while diving, andtheir blood goes away from

other parts of the body andgoes to their heart, lungs,

They can have webbedfeet for swimming. Sharpclaws for digging andburrowing. With that theyalso have adapted to

protect themselves frombeing eaten as prey.Their shells are hard andrough, so most animalscan't open then. They

have quick reflexesallowing them to bundleup inside their shell whenthreatened. I'd alsoconsider a turtles lifespan another adaptation

because some turtleshave been known to live

Adaptations of a kelp and coral

Kelp needs to withstandocean currents, so it'sroots/ hold fast is adaptedto dig deep into the rocksand soil to make sure it

doesn't drift anywhere.

Kelp also has a verystrong, fast growing stipe(stem), with floats (gas

filled compartments thathelp the blades reach thesunlight at the surface),as this is wherephotosynthesis takesplace, as well as mineral

absorption as roots areused as anchors onl .

mangroves are atype of plant in thecoral reef biomeand it adapted toliving in water witha high salt level

Adaptations of polar bear and

penguin SWIMMING1.Polar

bears are strongswimmers; theyswim across bays orwide leads without

hesitation. They canswim for severalhours at a time overlong distances.They've been

tracked swimmingcontinuously for 100km (62 mi.).DIVING1.Polar bearsmake shallow diveswhen stalking prey,

navigating ice floes,or searchin for

Penguins are adapted to live inand near the ocean becausethey eat fish. They havespecial adaptations that allowthem to live in the water.Penguins have webbed feet to

help them swim faster, andtheir vision is believed to bebetter underwater than onland. They cannot fly in airbecause their wings are toosmall for their body weight, buttheir wings are adapted to helpthem live and dive in the water.The penguin is simply unableto create enough energy totake off. Penguins' wing bonesare fused straight, rather thanangled like a flying bird's, and

this has the effect of makingthe wing rigid and powerful,

Adaptations of bearberry and

saxifrage

Bearberry

- it grows low in the

ground and hair to

avoid winds and keepthe warmth.

- leathery leaf to

reduce evaporation.

First, is a chemical

anti freeze protection,

next, it has the ability

to live in harshconditions and last, is

the development of

leaves that limit

transpiration
