Introduction
On these slides you will see adaptations of
animals. Some use camouflage, webbed
feet, skin between their arms, sleek bodies
and many other adaptations that help them
survive. We hope you enjoy our power
point!
Mountain Goat
The mountain goat lives near the mountains. Its
hooves are adapted to rugged rocks by being flexible.
The adaptations help the goat survive because if there
hooves with a soft spongy inner pad surrounded by a
hard outer rim.
Dolphin
The dolphin lives in the water all over the world. The
adaptation of a dolphin is that it has nostrils located
on the top of its head. It can breathe by the top of its
head so it can come up for air.
The Flying Squirrel
The flying squirrel can glide across the air. They live in
forests in North America. It can glide so it can not be
eaten. It eats nuts and acorns. It is cute but it can hurt
you.
Sharks
A shark lives in the ocean. It has oil in its liver to swim.
A shark can kill you. A shark eats other little fish and
mammals.
Camels
This is a camel. A camel lives in the Sahara desert on
the continent of Africa. Sometimes it can be found in
Australia or Asia. It has a special adaptation. It
produces very little sweat and urine. This helps it keep
water in its body.
Seal
This is a seal. A seal lives in a snowy place on the
continent of Antarctica. It has a special adaption. It
has a very good way of swimming through the water
because it has a streamlined body shape.
Giraffe
The name of my animal is a giraffe. The giraffe lives on
the continent of Africa in the grassland. The giraffe
has a long flexible tongue so that the giraffe can reach
the tree’s leaves. The giraffe has a long neck to reach
the tree’s leaves. The giraffe’s neck and tongue help
the giraffe to eat.
Penguin
The name of my animal is a penguin. The penguin lives
in Antarctica. The penguin has wings that look like
flippers so they can swim fast to catch fish. If the
penguin did not have his flippers that look like wings,
he could not catch fish and the penguin would die.
Duck Billed Platypus
The name of my animal is a duck billed platypus. The
duck billed platypus lives in eastern Australia near
rivers or lakes. Its special adaptation is its webbed feet
so he can swim fast.
Cheetah
The name of my animal is a cheetah. It lives near SubSaharan Africa. It’s special adaptations are its long,
powerful legs and its sharp teeth. He can run fast to
catch food for the babies.
Unusual Animal Projects
The students in STEP were told to imagine that it is the
year 3000 and people can create planets and the
animals and plants that live on these planets. We took
on the role of scientists and created animals that were
adapted to a particular planet’s habitat.
We will now present a description of the planet we
were assigned and the animal we created to live there
in our diorama.
