Survival Tactics (What I learned)

                                                   Survival
    We watched a Eyewitness Survival movie and here are some things that I learned. Animals have to survive, and each animal has it's own way of surviving. A fox, has keen eyes and a sharp since of smell, and can run very fast, this helps helps find it's prey and catch it. Each animal needs to master their defense skills before going out, just like a fox, its mother and child play a "pretend hunt." Other animals like the hawk, they have to harry it's prey before the catch, with this technique it needs other hawks to help out. This creates more of a chance to catch the prey, but it also means the hawks have to share.
    Small things like snapping turtle tongue are useful to survival, these things are very useful to animals when they want to eat. Some animals have camouflage to help them to survive, this prevents them from their predators to see them. Migration is a big part in survival for the herbivores, for example, the Wildebeests need to migrate after they have eaten all of the grass, if they don't migrate, they don't have any food.
     Also adaptation is a big part in living in some animals, the Great Canadian Tree Frog has to adapt to the extreme weather in the mountains. This animal is basically frozen for a whole Winter in-tell the ice melts. One quote I really liked from this movie is
"Survival is not for the moment, but across time!" -Eyewitness Survival Movie.


Here is a cool Poison Dart Frog Video!
