 | Guiding Thought Question: Look at the picture of the species pictured to the left (you can click on it to enlarge it) and explain what type of environment this particular species is best suited for based on its adaptations. (Be sure to mention at least 3 specific adaptations) Guiding Inquiry: To what degree to animals have Spatial Connections to the landscapes in which they live? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the connection between species adaptations and landscape by completing a mapping activity in which they will reflect on the principles of Bergmann and Allen.

Highlands because they have fur o keep them warm. They also have a very small nose and ears to make circulation easier. They have apposable thumbs to grab onto branches

Animals have spatial connections to the point where they can study a given environment to which they can either adapt or retreat to/from the region/sub-region. In a simplified way, animals in their given environment have a "home field advantage" in their home environments

I would say a jungle. It’s fur looks easy to clean since it is only thick near the neck, it has thumbs to help it climb, they also don’t have any nose cartilage to fight against frostbite.

temperate forested area-thick fur , no nose to avoid frostbite, typical monkey limbs and stuff for tree swingin and slingin

It would be suited for a place with lots of tall trees. It has very long limbs which would be good for climbing trees and has fingers which would allow it to eat nuts from trees and hold on to branches. Another adaptation is the fur is brown which would allow it to blend in more smoothly with trees.

This animal seems best suited for a temperate rainforest, with a fluffy body that can keep them warm, small ears that won't lose too much heat, and long arms with grasping fingers suited to arboreal environments.

Jungle/forested area because they have fur, thumbs to help with climbing, and nose for smelling

probably a temperate forest area, because they have fur to keep them warm, long limbs for climbing trees, and their fur is an orange-y brown color to probably blend in with trees

jungles, most likely, what with the colorful fur, longish fingers, and might hang out in dark areas judging by those eyes

Most likely a temperate forest. The animal in question has fairly thick fur, a facial structure for colder-climates, long arms, and most likely a prehensile tail suited for tree climbing and canopy living. T

Probably a tropical region, with the long limbs and the short fur.

Some kind of colder forest. They have arms that seem suitable for climbing and tree jumping but they also have thicker fur and smaller features to decrease the need for circulation.

Environment is most likely a temperate forest, possibly mountainous (thick fur, tail/hands/feet are great for moving around this environment efficiently, no nose [less skin to be exposed & circulation]) 1/25/2022 12:31:47 pm
3 specific adaptations)

Short ears and nose for Colder weather, furry and colorful for a more vivid environment, and a primate for climbing so definitely a forest

This species would probably live in a jungle. It has adaptations like having thumbs and long arms to climb, bright orange and light brown fur for existing in their surroundings, and the structure of the nose to smell.

the species would be best suited for a place with lots of trees, somewhere cold maby because they don't have a nose and there fur is thick to keep them warm and there hands look good for climbing Leave a Reply. |
