Camo Frog, Lithobates catesbeianus
Eats: Insects and small mammals
How it catches food and water: It's long tongue and newly adapted camouflage
How it keeps warm/cold: Going into the sun and going into the lake/river
Shelter: Under various plants
Protect/defend itself: camouflage
Protect/defend young: try to hide them under plants and teach them to use camouflage
Adaptations: Camouflage (from chameleon), can eat small mammals, learned to walk and hop. These adaptations help this animal in its environment because it can better protect itself and be able to live off more than insects in this particular environment.
Bowl Fern, Drynaria rigidula
How it catches food and water: Sun
Adaptations: Extra water storage, larger leaves, adapted to not getting as much sun (adaptations come from cactus except larger leaves). These adaptations help the animal in its environment because it helps it survive and be able to go through days where it may not be able to get sunlight so it can have that extra storage of water.
