The Flounder is very iteresting. As young it's eyes are at the side of its head. When its adult its eyes move to its head. The flounder then turns to the side and lives like that. The bottom of the fish turns white and the top can change to the backround like a chemelon. All of these adaptations are phyical.
ReplyDeleteThe flounder is a weird fish. When young eyes are on side of head. As adult the eyes move to the side of head. The bottom of the fish is white and the top can change color to backround like a chemelon. All of the adaptations are phyical
ReplyDeleteThe Flounder fish adapts In a physical way because of the color of its body. Its body is a sandy orange, tan, and brown color which helps it blend in on the ocean floor. It gets its Food also because of its camoflauge. It waits for a suitable food source to come by then it 'ambushes' its prey and eats it. Also their body is Basically Flat which helps it also blend in. As the flouder Goes through its life cycle Each cycle eats something different.
ReplyDeleteNatalie,
DeleteHow fascinating that the flounder fish blend in with the ocean floor in order to catch its prey! I am curious to know more about how the flounder fish has a different diet during different stages of its life cycle. Does the flounder take on different physical forms as well?

The flounder fish has a Physical adaptation. It is a tan, brown, and orange color that when other fish see may look like the sand on the ocean floor where they dwell. This helps them Camoflauge with the ocean floor. This adaptation helps them catch food too. Fish who live near the bottom of the ocean swim by the sand but the Flounder fish ( which is camoflauged) is hiding in the sand. The flounder fish will 'ambush' the suitable organsim and eat it.

ReplyDeleteIs their a reason why the flounder fish is named the "flounder fish"?
ReplyDeleteSome people call flounder "Flatfish".
ReplyDeleteCould a flounder fish live in very deep waters because it does live towards the bottom of the body of water so the camouflage can be used.
