Title: Adaptation: Fur Turns white during the cold snowy winter months.


1
AdaptationFur Turns white during the cold snowy
winter months.
  • Seasonal Camouflage

2
Adaptation
Produces very little sweat and urine.
  • Regulates Body Temperature
  • Advantagous for survival to void little liquid in
    hot conditions
  • Camels do not store water in hump. It is fatty
    tissue insulating from the heat.

3
AdaptationLong, powerful legs
  • Take fewer strides from point A to B.
  • Long powerful tail helps to maintain balance
    when changing direction at extremely high speeds.

4
Adaptation Nostrils (blowholes) located on the
top of their heads.
  • To breathe

5
AdaptationLong, muscular neck and long,
flexible tongue
  • Used to reach and rip leaves from branches

6
AdaptationHooves with a soft, spongy, inner pad
surrounded by a hard, outer rim.
  • For climbing in steep, rocky, slippery terrain.
  • Provides traction in precarious habitats.

7
Adaptation Flaps of featherless skin between
their front and back legs
  • It glides by means of furry flaps of skin that
    stretch out and taut on both sides of body when
    limbs are extended.

8
AdaptationWings that look like flippers
  • To mainly steer and stop.

9
AdaptationStreamlined body shape
  • Used to swim faster when it is catching their
    prey and escaping from predator.

10
Adaptation Oil stored in liver
  • Sharks do not have a swim bladder for bouyancy,
    cartilage is lighter than bone which helps them
    float.

11
Adaptation Webbed feet
  • Helps to steer and balance when swimming

12
Adaptation Layer of fat or blubber around their
body
  • For Warmth. Insulation traps heat.
