Hi students! The goal for this blog is for you to become familiar with plant and animal adaptations. An adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive. Below you will find various plants and animals. Choose a plant or animal to research. Write a reply that includes adaptations for this plant or animal. For each adaptation identify it as a behavioral or physical adaptation. Be sure to include what the adaptation is and how it helps the plant or animal to survive and thrive.
Your post must be a minimum of 1 paragraph (5-8 sentences) detailing the adaptations of the organism you choose.
Your post must be written in complete sentences with correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
You must also respond to at least 3 classmate’s posts. When responding to a classmate, you may add additional information to their post, compare what they have written to the adaptations of a different organisms, or ask a question about what they posted.
In general beluga whales are slow swimmers. They commonly swim about 3 to 9 kph. Beluga whales also have some cool details you can learn about such as they can swim backwards and forwards, and they often swim at depths barely covering there body. All of theses are behavioral adaptations about the beluga whale.
Nice Anna! Did you know that Beluga whales live most of their life in the Artic Ocean? Beluga whales do not have a dorsal fin. This helps when the whale is swimming under the ice so the fin doesn't get caught. this is a physical adaptation. :)
Anna,check this out! Beluga whales, like other marine mammals, have a slower heart rate while diving. A beluga whale's heart rate slows from about 100 to about 12 to 20 beats per minute during a dive. Average beluga whales travel about 66ft below surface of the water.
