Animal’s Structural & Behavioral in their Natural Habitat

1. Animal’s Structural & Behavioral in their Natural Habitat

2. Specialized structures that they use in feeding: Birds like pelicans, kingfishers, ducks, and woodpeckers use their beaks to obtain their food. Leeches use their suckers in seeping the blood of their hosts. Big animals such as lions and tigers use their strong fangs and molars to tear flesh and break the bones of their prey. Insects like butterflies use their proboscis to obtain nectars from flowers.

3. Disguise or camouflage as a means of luring their prey: A chameleon changes its color depending on where it is hiding. A praying mantis changes its color to green when resting on a leaf. Hornets and wasps develop bold colors that make them easily visible to warn their enemy not to touch them . A hawkmoth looks like a dead leaf , tattered and veined .

4. Specialized structures used for grasping, apprehending, killing prey, and for self-defense: Sharp claws are used by bears and lions. Poison stinger are used by scorpions and centipedes. Sharp talons are used by hawks and owls for self-defense. Hard outer shells protect the crab and sea turtles from enemies. Horns of cows, goats, and carabaos are used to fight enemies.

5. Specialized structures used for grasping, apprehending, killing prey, and for self-defense: Horses use their hooves, while deer use their antlers. Sharp teeth are used for biting by dogs.

6. Keen senses used for hunting food: A snake smells using its tongue. Using its feeler, an insect-like female mosquito senses the warmth of its victims for blood-sucking. Their sense of hearing is what bats use at night or inside a dark cave. They send out a faint sound that echoes back and serves as their guide as they fly in dark places without bumping into anything ( echolocation ).

7. Keen senses used for hunting food: Big round eyes are what owls use to see very well in the dark to hunt food. Eagles and hawks use their sharp eyes to catch their prey; they can see small animals at a long distance even when they are soaring high.

8. Poison and secretion of distasteful substances: Using their tabular sharp teeth called fangs, snakes like the cobra secrete poison called venom. Chemical sprays with foul odor are released by skunks, while dark ink is released by squids and octopuses to help them escape from their predators. A ladybug has an unpleasant taste, which is why it is not eaten by birds.

9. Poison and secretion of distasteful substances: When provoked, bees and wasps attack their intruders in large numbers to protect their hive or colony. Big swarms of locusts drive away animals that come into their path. To keep attackers at a safe distance, a herd of cattle and a parliament of owls stand in a circle together.
