2. – are animals that live on land.
– is the place where terrestrial animals
live.
Six Kinds of Terrestrial Animals

3. - are a group of cold-blooded animals which
have skins covered with small hard plates called scales
and lay eggs. Snakes, lizards, and crocodiles are reptiles.
– are warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates
distinguished by the possession of feathers, wings, and a
beak and being able to fly.
- are animals such as frogs and toads that
can live both on land and in water.
- has a streamlined body with no
antennae or fins or arms or legs! This streamlined shape
is an adaptation to living in narrow burrows underground
and the need to move easily through the soil. An
earthworm has circular muscles that surround each body
segment.-

Adaptation of Terrestrial Animals
– is the process of adjusting according to the
environment and situation.

5. > long eye lashes, hairy ears and
closing nostrils help to keep out sand.
 thick eyebrows which stand out and
shade eyes from the sun.
> wide feet so they don't sink in the
sand.

6. > they can go without water for over a week because they
can drink gallons in one go.
> have thick fur on the top of the body for shade, and thin
fur elsewhere to allow easy heat loss
 have the ability to go for a long time without water.
 lose very little water through urination and
perspiration.
2. Arctic Tundra animals
Tundra ecosystems are treeless regions found in the
Arctic and on the tops of mountains, where the climate is
cold and windy, and rainfall is scant. Tundra lands are
covered with snow for much of the year, but summer
brings bursts of wildflowers.

7. Animals found in the tundra include the , the , the
, the , the , and the . Many
animals that live in the tundra, like the and the
,
:
 a white appearance - as camouflage from
prey on the snow and ice.
 thick layers of fat and fur - for insulation
against the cold.
> a small surface area to volume ratio - to minimize heat loss.
> a greasy coat that sheds water after swimming - to help reduce heat
loss.

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and
a high amount of rainfall.

10. 4. Taiga animals
The is a forest of the cold, subarctic region. The
subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies
just south of the Arctic Circle. The
and .
The soil beneath the taiga often contains permafrost—a
layer of permanently frozen soil.
Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears,
minks, squirrels, while larger ones include sgrey wolves
and their preys: caribou, reindeers and moose. In winter,
wolves hunt these herbivores in packs, often dividing
themselves into two groups to encircle their preys before
attacking them.

12. A deciduous forest is a type of forest dominated by trees
that lose their foliage at the end of the growing season.
This is in contrast to an evergreen forest where a majority
of the trees remain “green” throughout the year because
they shed leaves not seasonally but at various periods of
the year.
The is an animal that is well adapted for the
temperate deciduous forest biome. It has a heavy coat
made of many layers of fur to deal with the winter cold.
Black bears have long claws that help them to climb trees.
... They also hibernate to avoid having to find food in the
snowy, frozen winter.

13. Animals in temperate deciduous forests also have to
adapt to the changing seasons. They must be able to
cope with cold winters when food is in short supply.
