Wildlife Biology AG-WL-4

Reflection  What did you learn from yesterday’s activity?

Characteristics

Amphibians   Cannot regulate their body temperatures.   Begin life in water and then move to land as they mature   Three Types: Frogs, Salamanders, and Toads

Wild Birds   Have pneumatic bones (contain air/hollow)   Highly developed sense of vision, lack of smell   Feed on seed, nuts, insects, or small animals

Fish   Found in various climates and water conditions   Breathe through gills   Feed on plankton, insects, small amphibians, birds, or mammals

Reptile   Ectothermic – do not need to maintain a constant body temp   Types: Lizards, snakes, turtles, and alligators   Lay eggs to reproduce

Mammals   Have constant body temps   Females produce milk   Inhabit nearly every climate and can be found on water, land, and underground   Endothermic - warm- blooded

Group Assignment  In your groups from Tuesday, choose 2 species within your group  Research the following:  Food, Water, Cover, & Space requirements  Compare initial response to findings
