• ANIMALS THEIR ENVIRONMENT

Ecology

• Definition the study of how organisms interact
  with their environment
• Two Key Ideas
• Where do organisms live?
• How many organisms are present?

Habitat

• The place where animals live
• Different animals have different habitats, but
  each animal survive best in its natural habitat
• An animal lives where it can find 1) food, 2)
  water, 3) shelter, and 4) a mate

Environment

• The word environment is used to describe what a
  habitat is like.
• These are the ABIOTIC FACTORS which can affect
  animals such as temperature, amount of rain fall,
  type of soil, etc.
• Example Deserts are very dry and typically have
  hot temperatures during the day.

Ecosystem

• Ecosystem consists of how living things are
  affected by two things
• BIOTIC FACTORS Living parts of an environment
  and how they interact (example animals,
  bacteria, plants).
• ABIOTIC FACTORS Non-living parts of an
  environment and how it affects living things
  (example temperature, amount of rain, etc.)

Animal Adaptation

• Animals are best suited to survive in their
  habitat
• Adaptations are features which organisms have
  that help them survive in their habitat

Welcome to the Desert
This place was a bit too.

Hot, Dry but at least you dont get bothered by
people

Adaptations of the Camel for Desert Life

• The hump stores fat, which they are able to draw
  upon for water.
• They have webbed feet (to prevent sinking in the
  sand)
• They can close their nostrils and they have a
  double row of eyelashes to keep out the sand.
• They can endure long periods without drinking -
  up to 17 days.
• When they do drink, they can take up to 136
  litres (30 gallons) at a time. By producing dry
  faeces and little urine, they can conserve water.
  
• Their body temperature can rise 6-8 degree
  Celsius before sweating.

How is the Seal adapted to its environment?
Streamlined shape.
Forward-facing eyes for clear vision ahead.
Strong teeth to catch fish.
Flippers to help it swim.
Thick layer of body fat to keep it warm.
Hind legs have evolved into a a strong
rudder-like tail.
