Day 12 Animals And Their Adaptations

As Travis and i were traveling through the Australian Savanna we ran into some weird looking animals that we have never seen before. Of course we wanted to just watch them and experiment, but we did not forget our purpose of these trips. So, we observed the bird and we came up with what we think are the animal's adaptations. So, the first animals name is called an Emu and is known for its fluffy feathers and for it also having three toes, which they use as an assault weapon. Some adaptations of this bird are, its double quilled feathers, that allow it to maintain its body temperature, and in the cold they fluff there feathers to keep them warm. One last adaptation of this bird is that it is able to grind p their food with there gizzard since they do not have any teeth.

Another animal that we saw looking up into the trees was one that we were actually familiar with was the koala bear. This fuzzy bear is very common and is loved because of its cute appearance and friendly faces. There are many cartoons that have koala bears in them, and in those cartoons, this bear is actually portrayed as a friendly animal. This Marsupial is known for is lean, but muscular body, big ears, and yellow eyes. The koala bear also has adaptations that fit its lifestyle, such as having paws that have traction which allow them to climb trees without them slipping or falling down. another adaptation that it has is thick fur that help keep it cool, but at the same time warm when it gets cold.

Another common organism which this time is an amphibian is the red eyed tree frog which is highly known for its bright red eyes and hands and feet. This frog is often seen in the trees of the Australian Savanna climbing up and down, and jumping from tree to tree. Some known adaptations this frog has are its bright eyes, which cause its predators to think its poisoned and run away. Another adaptation that this frog is that its red eyes allow them to see at night, which make these frogs nocturnal. Its funny its red eyes, which is what it is known for contains the tthings it needs in order to survive in its enviroment
