Three Key Adaptations for Tournament:

Adaptation 1:
• Color-changing ability: They can change color in response to various things
including temperature, light, and motional state. This can help with
Tarzan
Chameleon
communication with other chameleons, body temperature, and camouflage from
predators.
Adaptation 2:
• Prehensive Tail: This adaptation helps chameleons navigate through their
habitat and is used for balance and fifth limb. It helps stabilize their body when (Calumma tarzan)
hunting for they prey.
Adaptation 3: (ADD YOUR PICTURE HERE)
• Independent eye movement: This allows them to focus in different directions at
the same time. It gives them an advantage by having a wide view and spotting
prey and predators without moving.
Biome: Geographic Range & Habitat:
– Are found in the madagascar, usually in the forests of Tarzanville. Its
habitat is lowland moist forest and roots in forest vegetation at night.
Diet and Trophic Level:
– Are insectivores that eat a wide variety of insects and their larvae. Its main
predators include snakes and birds.
Size:
– approximately 119-150mm

Summary:
– Tarzan Chameleon’s are a species of Squamata in the family chameleons.

Three Key Adaptations for Tournament:
Adaptation 1:
• Advanced Vision: They have the most complex and advanced vision
Peacock
in the animal kingdom. The upper two parts are used for detecting
color, while the lower part is used for detecting polarized light. This
allows for communication and hunting prey.
Adaptation 2:
• Powerful Strikes: They have powerful attachments called "raptorial
Mantis Shrimp
appendages" or "smashers." These are used for hunting, defense, (Peacock Mantis Shrimp )
and breaking open shells. This can be an advantage for easily
breaking the exoskeletons of their prey, making them a deadly
predator.
Adaptation 3:
• Hunting strategies: They use their attachments or appendages to
strike prey with force. They patiently wait for the right moment to
attack their prey.

Biome: Geographic Range & Habitat:
• Mostly live in shallow parts of the ocean, usually at the depths of
30-100ft. They are native to the epipelagic seabed across the Indo-Pacific,
ranging from Guam to East Africa, and as far South as Northern
KwaZulu Natal.
Diet and Trophic Level:
• They can kill prey larger than itself and typically feeds on gastropods,
crabs and mollusks. They are carnivores that feed on primary consumers
or herbivores.
Size:
• are approximately 2-7 inches long

Summary:
Peacock Mantis shrimp are colorful, small, and mighty. They use their

powerful claws to attack they prey. These help regulate the number of other
species.
