About the Presentation

Font: I chose Arial Rounded MT bold because it looks pretty and legible. Size: Larger size font was used to emphasize certain words.Color: Variety of colors were used so it can stand out on different backgrounds.Animals: Pandas and Raccoons were chosen to show the re-lationship.

Sounds like a good idea to moi!

Why I Chose Pandas and Raccoons

I chose to present the symbiotic relationship between Pan-das and Raccoons because I think Pandas are cute. I chose to compare Pandas to Raccoons because I believed Rac-coons had a symbiotic relationship with Pandas. Even though they don’t look alike or sound alike, they are similar in many ways. An example would be that they belong to the same animal family.This presentation will explain the symbiotic relationship be-tween Pandas and Raccoons.

Symbiotic RelationshipEver wondered what a symbiotic relationship is?

Well here is your answer. A symbiotic relationship is an relationship between two or more animals that relate to each other, and how they are similar and different. For example; The bee and the flower. Bees fly from flower to flower gathering nectar, which they make into food, benefiting the bees. When they land in a flower, the bees gathers some pollen on to their hairy bodies, and when they land in the next flower, some of the pollen from their body falls off, pollinating the flower.

OH! Inter-esting!Ahh.. I see

Pandas and Raccoons symbiotic relationship is they both live in a grassy area and they both have many things in common, such as; sharp nails, active, good sense and know when to use and what there talents are. They are also alike in a strange way. Pandas look like bears but they are not classified as them. They are classified as Raccoons which is why the Red Panda looks like one. The red Panda is actually a Raccoon and so are the other Pandas. They are both Raccoons and even though Padas are Raccoons not many of the Pandas act in they exact same way and they don’t have the exact same talents. Scientists are wondering and getting proof about this amazing news about Pandas are Raccoons but, they got evidence from the Red Panda (also Raccoon) that they really are Rac-coons.

Symbiotic Relationship be-tween Pandas and Raccoons

Interesting!

Pandas are amazing mountain animals with lots of great and unique talents such as keeping food and his or her babies safe. They are from China but unfortunately they are getting endangered and are having some trouble living in their habitat. People are cutting Bamboo trees for furniture, accessories, and many other products. That is why they are getting endangered. People who care for animals are trying to keep Pandas safe. People also know that Pandas living in zoos are poor but they also know that it can save Pandas lives. You probably have seen furniture and accessories and thought they were nice and pretty but every time they make one of those furniture or accessories they are killing or endangering one Panda.

Raccoons

Raccoons are small animals that are usually living around Pandas. They usually are in the rainforest or grassy areas. Raccoons are also called Red pandas. Raccoons are part of the Panda family and that is another reason they are called Red Pandas. Rac-coons and Pandas stay in a similar place which is usually a grassy and watery area (e.g.: rainforests) When a un-related animal is near them they attack even though the other animal doesn’t harm them. Just like people have phobias to things, un-re-lated animals near Raccoons and Pandas are something similar to a phobia for them.

How Do Other Animals Adapt to Their Habitats – Camels and Horses

Camels Horses

Camels have to adapt to the desert. At the desert it is sandy, dry and it has only a little bit of water so Camels have to learn how to not drink water for a long time and dink a lot of water next time the see and have a chance to get water. They also need to get used to sand going in their eyes. That is why they have nice, thick and long eyebrows. Secondly, they have thick lips, meaning hat they have to learn to eat thick prickly plants and not hurt their thick lips.(They have thick lips because they can hurt themselves when eating with thin lips, but they can still get hurt.)

Horses have to adapt to all sorts of habitats They can live in sandy, grassy, or muddy places. Horses need lots of water because they exercise everyday. Hey run around and people horse-back ride on them. Horses have long necks so they never throw up. They are very energetic all the time and they need to be trained to exercise without having to stop or have breathing problems. They have strong legs to they also learn how to climb rocky mountains. They have strong hooves on their feet so it can also help climb rocky mountains.

Hmm, How do you say that? Cam -eel?

Story of the Zebra in a different habitat

Back To Contents

“Oh No! What’s Happening?! Let me out! Let me out! I don’t like it here in this, I don’t know maybe it’s the muddy and dirty area or something like that! Now just get me out! I don’t like it! I really don’t! Let me out!” The sad Zebra cried. She had been moved from her normal grassy home all the way to the muddy and dirty area. She was all sad and lonely with no-one to play with. “Please let me out of here!” she was filled with tears and started to beg again and again until she had gotten to tired say a word and she wiped her tears, sat down, begged once more sadly, then she stretched and slowly be-gan to sleep. Everyone that saw the poor zebra had been complaining to the people why she has to be sad and they were also complaining about how is she going to adapt to her new home. The zebra knew what the kindhearted people were talking about, and she agreed how why she has to be sad and so she made up her mind and said “I'm going to get out of here! If they catch me I’m going to make them feel sorry that they did this to me! I’m sure!” She knew she could get out, and she tried again and again until she gave up, sighed and complained to herself, “It’s my fault, It really is. Why did I let them capture at the beginning.?” As she slowly sat down, she heard a voice. “”I’ll get you out.” some-one whispered. “It’s okay.” The zebra replied without knowing who she was even talking to. “I know that I can’t do it.” she cried “I’m sorry.” then she slowly walked away and in a few minutes she had gone so far she was nowhere to be found but few days after on the news everyone found out that the Zebra used her strong hoofed feet to break a fence and run away to her normal home. Awe. Poor Ze-boa?

Extra Stage

We are all dependant on our environment (the Earth) because we were all born in the same way. We have adapted to Earth because this is where we were born and always lived on the planet Earth. Just like animals adapt to their environment we do that as well. Right now we are interdependent but we still depend on the Earth for: shelter, food, water and many other things. Humans have adapted to the Earth and where they live by being born on this planet and stayed wherever on the Earth. Even though the Earth has many places such as: Korea, Japan, China, Guam, Cebu, Saipan, Africa, France, Italy, Germany, Hawaii, Washington, Colorado, Australia, Russia, Florida, Texas, Michigan, Maine, Tennes-see, and much more, we have all adapted to one place and moved from one place to another and adapted there. Baby born on Earth Adapts to the place they were born Grows up Moves Adapts to different habitats

Hi, my name is Ines Bu and I am 10 years old. I love to horseback-ride. I rode horses when I was a baby (5 years old). I love to horseback-ride and I also like to ski and play my clarinet when I have extra time. My favorite place in the world is Honolulu, HI and I have many houses all over the world. I visit Hawaii every summer and winter. I go to Japan during the weekends or short breaks. I love travelling around the world and my favorite place I’ve been to is proba-bly Zimbabwe, South Africa. Underneath there are a photos of me. I hope you enjoy!
