Variation is a difference of characteristics such as structure, form, function, colour and size when compared to others of the same species within a specific environment. Variation can occur through mutation, the recombination between chromosomes and migration, of which usually happens due to environmental or genetic factors. Variation permits the survival of species in a changing environment and ensures protection from exposure to diseases or environmental disasters. Those who possess variation in species ensures that when their environment changes the individuals will have the variation that will allow them to survive while those who do not possess the variation will die out. This is natural selection and goes hand in hand alongside variation. …show more content…
It is the largest of all breeds of Kangaroos and originates from Northern Australia’s warm, wet climate. The distribution of this species is believed to be a leading cause in the variety of species. The red kangaroo has adapted so that the dominant male of the group can pass on its set of chromosomes. This allows the highest quality of genes to be passed on and ensures their survival within that specific environment. Thus, the red kangaroo adapted its reproductive system to increase the continuity of the species. The female red kangaroo can hold up to three young at any time which allows the rapid production of young and the continuity of species. Grey Kangaroos are mainly found in parts of Eastern Australia within semi-arid environments to woodlands and forest. The grey kangaroo breed throughout the year although, unlike red kangaroos they can only produce one young at a time. They mainly dwell in the trees due to the forest type of environment they live in and are smaller than the red kangaroo. The red kangaroo has a short coat, typically red fur with a white belly and the tip of its tail is pale. The Grey Kangaroo has a grey coat and the tip of its tail is dark. The difference in colour is due to the different environments in which they’ve

Generally, a colony needs to be within about 5 Kilometres of a water source. Heat Tolerant The areas it comes from are hot in the daytime, especially in the summer. At the hottest time of the year. This Wallaby becomes nocturnal.
Mariah Rocole APES 8-20-15 Endangered Species Today, 17,000 species are threatened to become extinct. The Pan paniscus more commonly known as the Bonobo, is an endangered species from the African continent. The Bonobo lives in the Congo Basin in Africa.

The species occurs in a variety of colors but the two main colors are a dark morph or a red morph (Exploring Nature Educational Resource). The ones with the dark morph tend to be more brown and black in color and
Adaptation Since they live in different climates and areas different types of wombats have different fur and adaptions. Bare-nosed wombats live in Southeastern Queensland, East New South Wales, areas of Victoria, and the Southeastern tip of South Australia. These areas are colder with more rain and their habitats include woodland, shrubs, mountainous regions, and coastal areas. They also have little to no underfur that is longer than the Hairy Nosed wombat’s fur. On the other hand, Southern Hairy Nosed wombats live in drier climates with 8-20 inches of rainfall.
Because red wolves can live in many different habitats, there main limiting factors are the amount of prey and human interactions within those
For over 40 years the life and times of the Australian Bushranger, Ben Hall has held my imagination. My first introduction to the name Ben Hall came about by my father when on a long drive from our home in Queensland to our former Victorian home following my fathers service in Viet Nam, and our first opportunity as a family to visit my grandmothers and the wider family of Uncles, Auntys and Cousins, and to recover my sister who was holidaying at the family 's holiday home at Phillip Island. As for anyone who has taken the long road anywhere, a car ride of such distance could be tiresome, not with my father, who had a great interest in the early history of Australia and as well as a wider interest in world history. (something I have inherited) He was a collector of weapons from the earliest periods relating to our country and those which flooded the colony during the great gold rushes of the 1850 's - 1860 's, the Colts Revolvers, Lee Enfield Rifles, The Brown
Adaptions are characteristics that living things have in response to its enviornment changing. All plants and animals have their own unique characteristics to defend and protect themselves from their enviornment around them. Organisms need to use their characteristics to find a way to reproduce, have a need for energy, protect themselves from predation, and from their own enviornment. Gray wolves have many special adaptions that help them to protect and live in their own enviornment. Gray wolves have a thick fur coat to protect themselves from their cold enviornment in the snow and their log guard hairs to keep them out of moisture.
Examples from the Red Family are Red Dun, Palomino, and Cremello (The American). American Paint Horses come in a variety of patterns and
Being Arctic Tundra The Arctic Foxone of the world’s driest and coldest biomes, the Arctic tundra By Aanirudh Kheterpal is categorised as an extreme environment. The average temperature of this region, -12˚C to -6˚C, requires special adaptations in terms of thermal insulation. While the nonstop 50-60 days of summer sunlight is counterintuitive, this region also experiences 60-70 days of lightless winter, adding to the extremeness of this region.
Gray Wolves live, travel, and hunt in packs of 7 to 8 animals on average. Packs include the mother and father wolves (called the alphas), their pups, and older offspring. The alpha female and male are typically the pack leaders that track and hunt prey, choose
Habitats generally consist of grasslands, rainforests, deciduous forests, deserts, and wetlands, thusly; each habitat provides the right mix of essential elements that make life possible for a species ("Endangered," 2007). The red wolf (Canis Rufus), in 1967, became classified as one of the most endangered species of Canid in the United States ("Recovery," 2015). The red wolf, indigenous to North America, and once common throughout the eastern and southcentral portions of the United States ("Recovery," 2015), is one of two species of wolf that includes the Canis Lupus, otherwise known as the gray wolf ("History," 2015). Related to both the gray and red wolf, are the other members of the carnivorous Canid biological family, comprising of jackals, foxes, coyotes, and the domestic dog ("History," 2015).
Adults are usually black white and gray, with a white breast and barred underparts. They have a distinctive black marking under their eyes
The story “Kangaroo gets a pouch” has a lot of similarities with the story “Kangaroo”. Like how they're both about kangaroos and how they both face a problem and a solution in their stories. Also they give some facts on kangaroos. In “Kangaroo Gets a Pouch” it talk about facts on kangaroos like how they have long strong legs for hopping and jumping just like “Kangaroos”.
