Global Distribution Facts
• Locations where are they found in the
world ocean?

• Describe the area in which they live look
like?
• Are there any special features in their
habitat?
Specialties
• What is unusual about these animals?
– Where they live
– movement
– limbs
– breathing
– way of moving
– feeding
– defenses
– reproduction
Special Adaptations
• Explain why these “specialities” are
important
– (You can be general or identify specific animal
species’ adaptations – include the reason why
these adaptations are useful and have helped
these animals “make a living.”
Anatomy
•
•
•
•
•
Vertebrate or Invertebrate
Endoskeleton or Exoskeleton
No Bones, Bones or Cartilage
Symmetry: (asymmetrical, bilateral, radial)
Endothermic or Exothermic
How They Get Oxygen
• Filters, gills, breathe oxygen from air?
Locomotion
• Do they move?
• If so, how? When?
• Do they migrate? Describe their migration.
Feeding
• Autotroph or Heterotroph
– If autotroph (photosyntheses or
chemosynthesis)
• Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore or a
Combination of several types.
• Types of Food
• How They Feed: suspension, filter,
predation or any “SPECIAL” way (you’ll
know)
Predators and Prey
• What do they feed on?
• What do they hunt?
Defense Mechanisms

adaptations that they use to protect
themselves?

• (How are young “born?”)
• (Are the young cared for, if so how?)
Life Cycle
• (Explain their life cycles.)
• (Approximately how long do they live?
Give a range, don’t be too specific,
scientists may not know for sure.)
• (Do they go through the process of
metamorphosis? How?)
• (Do they molt? If so why? How?)
