Analysis Of The Spotted Grass Frog

126 Words1 Page

In Dalhousie springs, there is a large amount of living animals. This includes; reptiles, birds, mammals and plants. Many animals that live in this area would have adapted so they could survive. One of these animals would be the Spotted Grass Frog. The Spotted Grass Frog has adapted to the desert. These desert adapted frogs usually emerge during warm wet nights to feed. The Bilby has adapted too. With their big ears and sharp claws. The large ears have several purposes. The main reason for having large ears is for something called “thermo regulation” (to cool the bilby). Blood flows quickly into the thin tissue around the Bilby 's ears, preventing them from getting too hot during the day and from losing body heat quickly at night.

    Flatwood Salamanders do not adapt very well to their environment, which is why they are endangered. One adaptation that the salamander has made would be that it uses crayfish burrows to live in. They also have adapted to use camouflage by making themselves grey and black, so that they can hide in shadows, and dark places. They have also learned to breed in isolated ponds without and predatory fish, so that they and their babies do not get eaten. Another adaptation that they have made would be that their eggs only hatch when wetlands

    Along with the regionalistic narrators, both stories show regionalistic qualities in their themes. In “The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” the theme is cunning and cleverness. Jim Smiley shows he is cunning and clever by winning every bet he ever made. Although, after making a bet with a stranger in which he believes knows nothing about frogs, he bets him forty dollars that his frog can outjump any frog in Calaveras county, but he surprisingly doesn't win.

  • Stickleback Fish Research Paper

    532 Words  | 3 Pages

    The stickleback fish have gained much attention from evolutionary biologists because of their historic ability to adapt to conditions that were not favorable and to survive successfully in them. They are also able to give researchers insight into how evolution occurs in other organisms. The stickleback normally spawns in freshwater but lives in the salt-water ocean. Long ago when ice melted and receded, the fish were given new possible places to inhabit and they did, expanding their spawning locations to newly formed streams. Eventually, though, the streams were cut off from the sea and the once salt-water sticklebacks were faced with the problem of being stuck in freshwater with no way to get out.1

  • Poison Frog Population Decline

    718 Words  | 3 Pages

    Around the world, poison frog populations have been declining due to unknown reasons. Two experiments were conducted promptly in order to find the cause of the disappearances. One hypothesis suggested that the poison frogs are in a decline because of an infectious fungus called chytrid fungus. On the contrary, another hypothesis alludes to the idea that decreasing leaf litter is causing the widespread decline. Although it seems that there are multiple reasons for the decline, it is unquestionable that, according to the data from the experiments, that leaf litter is one of the main components of the decreasing population of poison frogs, having multiple replicates of data is important in finding the answer to the decline, and that there is much more to investigate about this problem.
