Snails

Agi and Inas

Snails’ gills take oxygen given by underwater plants while filtering nutrients to their systems through breathing water.

Their shells’ protect the snails from predators by going beneath their shells.

Snails have to lard tentacles with eyes that allowed them to see. and those tentacles also used to feel their habitat for food, shelters and a good surface.

Their foot is flexible. And it allows the movement in water and land habitat. there is a mucus layer that prevent injury and friction when they walk.

Snail have rough tounge that is known as a radula. it helps to hold, eat,and digestion.

Camel

Agi and Inas

Camel It has long eye lashes to protect the eyes from the blowing sand

and sun. It has fat stored in its hump(s) to help it survive without food

and water for long times. Thick leathery patches on knees to protect its knee from the

heat. It has pads under its feet to prevent sinking on sand. It’s nostrils can closed easily to keep from the blowing sand. It has thick fur and under wool to keep out the camel form the

temperature at the desert. It has long and strong legs to help carry the loads over long

distances.http://www.vtaide.com/png/camel-adaptations4.htm

Snowy Owl

Agi and Inas

It’s light color skin helps owl to camouflage in snow. In spring, where the ground is bare, they sits on a patches of snow and ice to make them keeping cool although its not known as camouflage.

Their thick feathers help to warm the owl's body including its legs and toes. the temperature becomes 38-40ª when the air temperature drops to -50º.

Their ear-like feathers work the same like the feathers.

Their large yellow eyes surrender reflects sounds wave to see if there is someone/something behind. And etects the prey in dim light where vision is really limited.

Active both by night and day.http://adaptations.tripod.com/snowyowl.html

Batman

Agi and Inas

They sleep up-side down: - Bat wings are not built for 'take-off' or flying. - Bats have to climb to a higher location before beginning flight. - By sleeping upside down, they can take off immediately if

there is a predator or danger. Echolocation. - Bat throw sounds and listen for the echo that bounces back

from an object. From that echo, they can determine what object is it.

They have echolocation to help them find their prey in the dark. A bat can tell how big an insect based on the intensity of the echo.

Squidward

Agi and Inas

They have torpedo-shaped body like rockets that make they move quickly. they suck in water through a tube and then throw it out to make they accelerate faster to allow them to escape from dangerous predators.

Squid produce ink and keep it in a ink sac near their rectum. When they are in danger, they can throw out their ink in the face of the predator and make t hem confuse and allowing the squid to escape.

Squid use their big eyes to bring light as much as possible at night. When they often hunt to see the depht og the seas where there are no sunlight.

Squid has 10 elongated tentacles. Two of them are over 4 times longer than the other to catch fish and prey.

Their powerful beaks between their tentacles help them to grab and chew foods, make them easier to swallow.

Skunk

Alaia and Jeihan

The ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid to fend off anything that they consider as a threat.

It's bold coloration serves as a warning to its' predators.

When it feels threatened, it will show a lot of warnings, like arching it's back and it's hair standing on the end, stomping, and hissing.

Armadillo

Alaia and Jeihan

They have physical adaptation. Their skin is a type of armor that is made of lots of

horn/bone (protects them from being attacked by a predator)

Armadillos can roll up into a ball to cover/hide themselves

Brownish-green coloring of the skin helps them to blend into a scrubby grasslands/bushes (so they are not easily seen)

Sonic the Hedgehog

Alaia and Jeihan

The spines are an obvious adaptation to repel prey (e.g. Foxes, badgers)

When they are startled, a strong muscle in its' back pulls it into a ball, protecting its' soft underbelly and pointing its' sharp spines up straight

Cannot release their spines into the skin of an attacker Like a porcupine, they are still very sharp and put off predators In winter, they survive by hibernating. They build up fat stores

as a resource of energy. Capable of reducing their body temperature, heart rate, and

metabolism during hibernation. They are nocturnal. Although their eyesight is weak, other

senses help them more. They have a strong sense of hearing and smell.

Since hedgehogs have thick and long claws, it helps them dig to prepare for its hibernation. The use of legs and paws is also to swim and climb effectively.

Common House Gecko

Alaia and Jeihan

Their skin can let them to stick to the walls or other objects.

They have a powerful limb musculature (mostly of them are quadrupedal)

Some of them are capable of rapid acceleration/change direction.

The 'racerunners' or 'whiptails' can attain speed of 29 km (18 miles) per hour

When it sees a predator, it hides it tail to avoid getting caught or catched

Ninja Turtle

Alaia and Jeihan

Their webbed feet for swimming Sharp claws for digging and burrowing With that, they can protect themselves from

being eaten by a prey Their shells are hard and rough, so most

animals can't open then They have quick reflexes allowing them to

bundle up inside their shell when threatened.

Penguins

Azzah and Inas

The dark colored feathers of a penguin's back surface absorb heat from the sun. They cap their feathers with oil from a gland near the tail to increase impermeability.

When the temperature decreases, the penguins huddle together with their friends to keep warm.

Black and white countershading makes them nearly invisible to predators from above and below.

Their vision appears to be better when they are underwater.

Polar Bear

Azzah and Inas

Huge heart muscles to pump the blood so far up to the neck.

Huge eyeballs to see predators. Large ears to help hearing and heat loss.http://www.marylandzoo.org/2010/02/giraffe-adaptations/

Chameleon

Agi

They have long tongue that have a sticky tip on the end. Which catch the prey items that they will never be able to reach with lack of speed.

They change their skin color because of physical and physiological condition of the lizard. They color also use to communicate between other chameleons.

Chameleons have teeth to at. Their teeth are also used to help them eating and killing their food. They may shallow their food (whole). They can also use their theta for tearing and then swallow. Some chameleons also hold their dead prey in their mouth for several time before swallowing it.

They can hear vibrations in the ear which help them to find food and stay safe from their enemies. They area almost deaf but they still can hear vibrations and tones.

They have a zygodactyl foot which help them to hold tightly to narrow branches.

Stingray

Chika and Irvena

They have senses such as smelling, hearing, touching and eyesight.

they can swim for a long distance.

Miss Puffer Fish

Chika and Irvena

Whale Rider

Agi and Athaya

Whales had naturally warm-blooded and make them self warmer. One of the main adaptations of whale is they have a blubber (a thick layer of fat and connective tissues beneath the skin that can almost reach until 50cm thick) that will make the whale warm although their Its also designed to be able to keep warm or cool in their habitat.

Respiration: Whales have one or two blowholes atop their heads. This positioning allows the whale to get air.

Sleep: Whales need to be aware to be able to breathe. Therefore, they have to adapted by being able to shut half of their brains off at a time.
