1 The Wonderful World of Animals
Food Chains, Hibernation, Estivation, Camouflage, Dormancy, Adaptations, Migration & Habitats!

2 Food Chains

3 A food chain is the order that plants and animals are eaten.
The Food Chain A food chain is the order that plants and animals are eaten.

4 Food Chains Vary Depending on:
Weather Floods- too much water kills plants & animals Drought- not enough water kills plants and animals People Building- takes away habitats Pollution- makes everything dirty and kills! Hunting- not following hunting laws can lead to extinction

5 Sun Corn Eagle Mouse

6 Hibernation

7 Hibernation This is a state of sleep that some animals enter into during the winter. They are protected from the cold. They need less food to survive.

8 Hibernation: The Groundhog
Inactive during the winter Stays warm Needs less food

9 Estivation

10 Estivation Animals that estivate are protected from dryness during hot, dry periods.

11 Estivation: The Snail Breathing slows down Heartbeat slows down
Because everything slows down they don’t need as much water during hot days. The snail secretes a mucus to seal it’s shell. Mucus- a slimy like juice that protects Once the shell is sealed, they attach to something for extra protection.

12 Dormancy

13 This is a period of inactivity. The animal does nothing!
Dormancy This is a period of inactivity. The animal does nothing!

14 Dormancy: The Brown Bear
Heartbeat stays normal Temperature stays warm Looks asleep

15 Camoflage

16 Animals use this to blend into a natural background for protection.
Camouflage Animals use this to blend into a natural background for protection.

17 A lizard’s skin blends in with the plants it walk on. A Chameleon can change colors to blend in with anything it is on! A rabbit’s fur will turn white to blend in with snow. A deer’s fur is brown, it blends in with leaves, trees and the ground. A grasshopper blends in with the grass. Snakes can blend in with the ground they live around. A Polar Bear blends in with the snow and ice in it’s habitat!

18 Adaptations

19 Adaptation A characteristic of an animal that makes it better able to survive in nature.

20 Adaptations: Birds Beaks Feet Claws Wings Flippers Eyes Color Penguin
Owl Hummingbird Eagle

21 Each Habitat Has The Things Its Animals Need
Food Water Shelter

22 Adaptations: Other Animals
There are many other animals with important adaptations. Some of these adaptations are: Shell Trunk Legs Neck Skin Pinchers

23 Migration

24 Moving from one place to another.
Migration Moving from one place to another.

25 Three Reasons To Migrate
To have babies in another area To find food To live in a warmer area during the cold season or to live in a cooler area during a warm season Monarch Butterfly Whale Birds Salmon

26 Habitat

27 The area where an animal lives.
Habitat The area where an animal lives.

28 There are Many Different Habitats

29 There are many different and interesting things to
learn about animals. Some animals hibernate. Some animals estivate. Some are even dormant for part of the year! Animals protect themselves and survive in their habitats using adaptations and camouflage. Other animals migrate. All animals are part of a food chain. People and weather greatly impact the lives of animals.
