  2. Australian Copperhead Snake • Austrelapssuperbus (scientific name) • Distribution: • Available

  3. Australian Copperhead Snake ENVIRONMENT Swampy areas Strong Swimmers Wet areas Eating Tadpoles Water source Solar radiation Hot Abundance of sun

  4. Australian Copperhead Snake • Temperature Adaptations: • Long slender body for a decreased surface area which means it can lose and gain heat from the body much easier. • Snake seeks shade to shelter from the sun when it is too hot to cool the body down. • Uses sun to absorb heat by flattening out on a rock increasing exposure to the sun.

  5. Australian dingo • Canus lupus dingo (scientific name) • Distribution • available

  6. Australian Dingo Forest Bushland Very versatile ENVIRONMENT DesertAreas Water source nearby Warm areas Prey Abundance

  7. Australian Dingo • Temperature adaptations: • Panting creates a cooling effect to expel heat from a dingo’s body. • Coat colouring; to reflect sun rays and dark to attract the suns rays. This can be changed according to environmental conditions. • Thick bushy fur for good insulation against heat and the cold.
