3. Creating an Adapted Animal
Now that you have finished researching your adaptable animals, the Environmental Protection Agency would like you to create your own adaptable animal. Think about one of the animals that you researched or look at a different animal. Change something about that animal to help them adapt into a different environment. For example, change something about the giraffe to allow it to live in the arctic or something about the praying mantis that would help it to protect itself better.
