We are continuing our study of animal adaptations in Science. Earlier this week, we spent the afternoon rotating through several stations that model how different animals meet their basic needs. Here are some of the adaptations we learned about:
How a pelican holds fish in its gullet
How Tokay geckos use their special adapted feet to climb smooth surfaces
How an addax antelope uses its white coloration to keep cool in hot temperatures
How a white ibis probes for worms
How a toco toucan plucks fruit from trees
How an American crocodile has a more streamline nose than the alligator to search for aquatic prey
How an East African Crowned crane picks insects from leaves and logs
How a goat uses its dense wooly undercoat in cold temperatures (one glove was stuffed with cotton balls)
How a roseate spoonbill scoops fish out of water
How a rainbow lorikeet sips nectar
What are some amazing animal adaptations that you know? Do you have a favourite?
