  2. Animal Survival

  3. Introduction • Like humans, animals struggle everyday to survive. Some have evolved different features to hunt or avoid predators, while others have adopted methods to stay alive in their environment. Let’s learn about how some of these animals survive!

  4. Tutorial • In this exercise, you will learn about six different animals and how they have adapted to their environments in order to survive • Click on an animal to learn about each one • When you are done and think that you are ready, take the Animal Quiz at the bottom of the page

  5. Tutorial Part 2 • This button will send you back to the tutorial page • This button will take you to the home page to learn about each different type of animal • This button will advance you forward to the next page • This will take you to an individual animal’s information page • This button will take you back to the previously viewed slide

  6. What Animal Would You Like To Learn About ? • Chimpanzee • Alligator • Squid • Great White Shark • Kangaroo • Opossum • Animal Survival Quiz

  7. Chimpanzee • The chimpanzee is a primate closely related to humans • Found in rainforests, these animals have adapted many tools for survival • Chimpanzees have adapted a method for eating a personal favorite, termites • They take a long stick and put it into an termite hill where they climb on, and then the chimp eats the termites off of the stick

  8. Alligator • Alligators are reptiles that live in swamps and aquatic areas • These animals have adapted an eyelid that helps them keep water out to see underwater • Because of this adaptation, they are able to hunt and stay underwater for hours at a time

  9. Squid • The squid is an aquatic animal that is found in the ocean • There are many different types and sizes but most use the same methods to survive • When a predator is seen they can change colors to be less noticeable • They can also shoot ink to cloud the water around them as they make a quick escape

  10. Great White Shark • The great white shark is a fierce predator that lives in the ocean • Great white sharks like all sharks have a sandpaper like skin for protection • When attacking prey, these animals roll their eyes back for protection from this vulnerable spot

  11. Kangaroo • The kangaroo can be found in Australia in the Outback • Temperatures can get very hot here so the kangaroo has adapted ways to survive • They are more productive at dusk and dawn and find shade during the day • They also keep cool by licking their arms where many nerves are as a type of thermal control • They have powerful arms to jab with that have sharp thumbs and legs to kick predators

  12. Opossum • The opossum can be found closer to home than you think • Many actually live around people because of deforestation and sometimes they can be found in garbage cans to scavenge for food • These animals sometimes play dead as a way to escape predators

  13. Animal Survival Practice Quiz!

  21. How Does A Great White Shark’s Color Patterns Help It Hunt? • The different patterns aren’t in the visible spectrum of most sea life • The patterns don’t help it hunt • The grey on top helps it blend with the deep water when looking down from above while the white on the bottom helps blend with the sunlight while looking down from above

  22. Question 5

  23. The Outback Is Extremely Hot; How Does A Kangaroo Survive? • All of these are correct • Stay in the shade during the hottest part of the day • Kangaroos lick a spot on their arms that contains nerves that control their body temperature
